Anybody know of a tool or way to check if your NIC is set to half or full duplex when using auto sense (ie. not how to set duplex)... ?

ps. in Windows (command prompt or a tool of some sort)

In Network Places, Right click your lan connection, choose properties and then click the configure ...

If this is the router model you have, F5D5230-4, then may you want to try port forwarding.
Access the Virtual Server page under Security from the web based config.

Please disregard my last rant. I guess I should know what I'm talking about before I say anything.
Have you called SMC? Looks like a bad WAN port (just as you speculated).

My first question would be: Why are you trying to setup a router behind your cable modem, which is essentially a router? If you are trying to network, you should be using a switch or hub behind the c/m.

If networking is your goal, and your experience limited, you might want to consider purchasing a ...

I don't usually post questions, I kinda like to try and figure things out for myself. This has me stumped though.
Here's the scenario.

linky access point connected to hub.

I've not tested wireless for latency with regards to gaming, but at 11mbps, a wireless lan is much faster than even your internet connection (1.5 mbps for cable (supposedly)). You could have both of the systems browsing the net at the same time and not see a real performance drop on the lan.
I think ...

A_S was reading my mind. Win2K w/Term Services (or Citrix if you can splurge). You can pick up wyse winterms for about $370 a pop and run sessions. Your major consideration would be server horsepower then.
The lower client hardware cost allows you to put that money in to the licensing (around $5400 ...

If you are pinging, browsing, etc. then it sounds like you are establishing tcp/ip communication. Like cyberskye asked, what kind of "tcp" connection are you trying to make? Are you trying to browse the internet or find a system on a network?

At least you have some antivirus software on your system ...

Stone suggested Citrix. Metaframe is a good option, but a pricey one.

Microsoft hasn't officially announced it but sp2 is now available if you know where to look...

Don't forget all you broadbanders, the nic is also a back door into your system for electricity. Just plugging the modem power in doesn't protect you. You have to protect the cable itself.

Unless you are planning to access novell servers, you won't need the netware client. I would also remove netbeui (while not a bad protocol, it was really designed for small networks and won't be used in your current config). You can also remove ipx (unless you have have online games that require it ...

I believe the answer to this question has to do with timing. By setting a minimum frame size in the original 802.3 spec, the frame would have a chance to make it through the whole network (limited in size by 5-4-3 rule) thereby avoiding collisions. But I could be wrong. I think I'll do some research ...

To answer the original question, no , I don't believe you will be able to decypher the scopeid with a sniffer/analyzer. That's what makes it a very good lockdown for netbios (but not a cure-all).
Without detailing the process for obtaining scopeids, let's just say you would have to be an EXTREMELY ...

I don't want to sound like an ass, but a main reason to try to obtain a system's scopeid using the method you describe would be to hack into that system. (Its a documented hack)
Scopeid is normally used to help secure systems using netbios.

Most motherboards with onboard video have a jumper to disable it.

All I see for win2k is ipsec optimization, which 3com also supports by offloading ipsec to a seperate encryption processor like the intel. I can't find any references requiring win2k for the nic to perform bus mastering which is where the throughput enhancement is taking place.
