Hi I have a network consisting of 7 workstations and a server on thin Ethernet/BNC. I am considering getting some new machines and want to move to UTP cat5 RJ45 in future. Will I be able to get a Hub with (say) 8 RJ45's and one BNC connector and simply plug and go, or do I need a bridge or switch to do this. (Win NT3.51 server '95 workstations, NetBEUI) -- Regards Roger despammed address is rog@roga.demon.co.uk Philosophy web site http://www.roga.demon.co.uk/master.htm

Yes, most 3com hubs support that -- 8 to 12 UTPs and one AUI port. You need a transceiver to connect your thin-net to the hub.

No, a cheap hub will do this. A lot of them have a BNC connector, or you can use an AUI port with a transceiver (I'm told, I've never done it). You will, of course, be limited to 10MHz. It's still worth using CAT 5 cabling throughout, so that you can take the network to 100MHz without recabling. Look for hubs, or more likely switches, with a 100MHz uplink. It will help you introduce 100MHz piecemeal later. -- Bernard Peek bap@intersec.demon.co.uk

3Com do a very nice one at a reasonable price - just under 100UKP
IIRC. I have one and it works well. Nice set of diagnostic LEDs as
well.
Just plug it up, with the usual care for terminators on the BNC
part.
Regards,
Harry.

Clarification: I only want to connect the new machines to the Hub, and keep the others on Thin Ethernet. -- Regards Roger despammed address is rog@roga.demon.co.uk Philosophy web site http://www.roga.demon.co.uk/master.htm Roger Jones wrote in message <899144442.21315.0.nnrp-06.9e981872@news.demon.co.uk>... >Hi > >I have a network consisting of 7 workstations and a server on thin >Ethernet/BNC. > >I am considering getting some new machines and want to move to UTP cat5 >RJ45 in future. > >Will I be able to get a Hub with (say) 8 RJ45's and one BNC connector >and simply plug and go, or do I need a bridge or switch to do this. > >(Win NT3.51 server '95 workstations, NetBEUI) > >-- >Regards > >Roger > >despammed address is rog@roga.demon.co.uk > > >Philosophy web site http://www.roga.demon.co.uk/master.htm > >
