TAILIEUCHUNG - Networking with Microsoft Windows Vista- P2

Networking with Microsoft Windows Vista- P2: A better solution is to increase the number of computers available. Now that machines with fast processors, ample RAM, and massive hard disk space can be had for just a few hundred dollars, a multiple-machine setup is an affordable proposition for most homes. | 34 Networking with Microsoft Windows Vista Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet Your next major decision is which Ethernet standard to use Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet don t even consider 10BASE-T . Fast Ethernet NICs are cheaper than their Gigabit Ethernet cousins so if your budget is tight go with the former. On the other hand you re really only looking at spending a few more dollars for a Gigabit Ethernet NIC and those few measly dollars buy you 10 times the performance. The downside with Gigabit Ethernet is that you must purchase an internal adapter card which is harder to install. Check your available bus slots. Internal NICs insert into a slot on the computer s bus. The most common type of bus is PCI but some older systems have one or more ISA slots and some newer systems have one or more PCIe slots. Make sure the internal NIC you buy matches your computer s bus and make sure that your computer has at least one slot available to hold the NIC. Make sure it s Vista-ready. You should only purchase a NIC that displays the Certified for Windows Vista logo on the box. This guarantees that the NIC s drivers work with Vista so the device will install automatically and should work properly right out of the box. Purchasing Cables Network cables might seem like the simplest of all networking hardware to purchase but you do need to consider a few things. Here are a few pointers Get the right cable category. Make sure the cable you buy matches your ethernet standard. If you re setting up a Fast Ethernet network you need Cat 5 cable if you re going with Gigabit Ethernet load up on Cat 6 cable or Cat 5e if you can t find Cat 6 . Shielded or unshielded For a small network shielded twisted-pair STP cable is probably overkill so in most cases you ll be fine with unshielded twisted-pair UTP cable. The exception to this is when you know that the cable will be running near a source of electromagnetic radiation such as an electronic device a power line an air conditioner .
