Hi, this is not a genuine FreeBSD-question but there seem to many experienced networkers on this list. In our school we are trying to set up a classroom-network like this: In each classroom there is a fast-ethernet connection to a central server/gateway connection. Up to five or six Computers can be moved into the room, when they are needed and can be plugged into our lan via a hub. The problem is that fast-ethernet cables seem to be very sensitive. They break as soon as one looks too hard at them. Not to say what would happen, when our pupils/students tried to plug them themselves. What sort of cables/plugs can we use for this purpose? What does this have to do with FreeBSD? Now, our chief-administrator allowed me a 5Gig-partition on each Win2k-machine to "play around" with some kind of UNIX (registered trademark :-) ) . And perhaps I am allowed a samba-server one day... But first I have to get this project working. Thanx for your help. Uli. ************************************ * P. U.
