D.19 Okay, so can I connect my PC to an Ethernet network and run AUN?

The comp.sys.acorn.networking FAQ
Again no (though see earlier sections for other ways to share files between PCs and Acorn machines). Work is ongoing to add support for AUN to Linux, both over Ethernet and (when running on suitable hardware) native Econet, but there is no usable implementation yet. All Acorn computers since the Master have had their Econet station number stored in the first byte of CMOS RAM. If the battery goes flat, or you reset the CMOS RAM, it will get cleared to zero - this isn't a legal station number.

How to connect a DOS PC to an existing network?

DOS FAQ by Christoph Fuchs
Florian Xaver postet a list of intersting DOS network links to the FreeDOS mailing list: http://www.freedos.org/freedos/news/technote/157.html. Thanks a lot!

D.18 Can I connect my PC to an Econet network?

The comp.sys.acorn.networking FAQ
Not easily. Once upon a time there was a card called the "Ecolink" to do this. However, few were made, they weren't always completely reliable, and the drivers only work with MS-DOS 3.3. An Ecolink is probably not something you want to install, except for historical interest value. If all you want to do is be able to talk TCP/IP with machines on the Econet, you can use an Archimedes equipped with Econet and some other interface (Ethernet, serial line, ...) as a gateway.

How can I connect more than two Ethernet products?

PC/104 Embedded Systems FAQ, EBX, Linux, Real Time, data acq...
PC/104 systems with multiple processors or peripherals that have Ethernet interfaces can use a PC/104 Ethernet switch or hub board to be networked together. Fast Ethernet and 10BaseT switches or hubs are available with auto-MDI-MDIX network installation and up to five auto-configurable 10/100 transceiver ports. Ethernet connections are made through either onboard RJ-45 jacks or via right-angle Molex connectors that can be used to mount RJ-45 jacks in a faceplate, endcap or enclosure.

Can I use a USB to Ethernet adapter to connect the USB modem to my network?

thinkbroadband :: Broadband FAQ
With the current adapters you cant, the USB modem is the DSL equivalent of a WinModem and requires some processor power to perform the modem functions and convert the ATM data into TCP/IP for presentation to the PC. There is a Draytek device however which can effetively act as a router and presents ethernet to the user side. See details here.

Which ethernet cable do I use to connect the Bluetooth Access Point to the network?

FAQs
There are two RJ45 ports at the back of the Bluetooth Access Point, LAN and Uplink (port with a X sign). If you are connecting via a router, please use a standard RJ45 ethernet cable and plug into the LAN port. If you are connecting directly from the ethernet jack on the wall, then you should use a standard RJ45 ethernet cable and plug into the Uplink port (or a crossover RJ45 ethernet cable and plug into the LAN port).

How can I connect a computer to the department network?

DCF FAQ
For wired connections users must fill out an IP address request form for each machine they want connected to the network.

Why does the card seem not to connect/stay on a network?

MultiNet Software: FAQ
You should try increasing the switch time using "multinet changeparams -switch ". Also make sure the wireless zero config is turned off, and you are able to connect to the network. A way to check for connectivity is by following these steps. Firstly, turn off the MultiNet service, using "net stop MultiNetService". Then, turn on Wireless Zero Configuration, and try connecting to your network. Once you are done testing, turn off Zero Configuration, and turn on the MultiNet service.

Can I connect more than one computer to the network?

MasterPoint - University Support - Internet - FAQ
No. You are not permitted to connect any 'network infrastructure' equipment to the network, therefore it is not possible to connect more than one computer.

Who can I connect to on the network?

GalwayWAN FAQs
Generally, with the equipment we're using - you need to have Line of Sight (LOS) to someone on the network already and they probably need to be within a few miles of you even with a clear LOS. Once you connect to them - you're on the network and should be able to connect to anyone else on the network regardless of how far away from you they are.
