Heading over soon, I tested 2 network cards I had and both were bad. Grr. I dont treat my pc stuff too well, just toss em all in a bag. If you have an open USB tho I have a Belkin 100mb USB nic that works great. Atleast until I can dig up another internal nic or you get tired of this and buy one.
Just got home tho, serious traffic, worst I seen yet here. So sorta burnt, resting and showering then we will head over.

I thought USB could only handle about 20MB/sec.
hmm...
I hate to use a USB port, but I REALLY need some kind of card.
My RR modem is capable of USB hookup...
I wanted to run my switch/router with firewall protection...
gosh dude, I don't know. I'll take what you got until I can find an internal card.
I got the filter all cleaned up, light disconnected and everything is ready for pickup.

Could be true, I used it for the incoming RR modem for awhile and it worked fine, then used the internal nic for home lan. Ill bring it over and we can see if it will work. I have like 4 USB ports on mine so I got tons of extra. All onboard cards tho otherwise I would swipe an internal from my machines here... 
sorry bout that, just figured the cards would work... Ill poke around some boxes here later tonite tho. Heading over now...

I hate USB.
Netgear NICs are GREAT.
Go RJ45 & Cat5.
My (unasked for) $.02

OKAY NOOBS! 
its 100mb as in 100/10 based T NIC/networking/etc are 100megabits
the limit on usb 1.0's are 20mB as in megabyte
hope that clears it up.

btw guys, i have hoards of 10based T NIC's that I scrapped from used computers but they're in the office. i have an unused SMC one here if anyone needs.
thank god for the new motherboards nowdays, most of them with fast *** built in ethernet(some even with gigabit lan!)
btw Richard, gigabit lan in the office = the ****.

Huh?
USB 1.0 & 1.1 = 12 megaBITs per second throughput.
Ethernet = 10 or 100 megaBITs per second throughput.
Fiberoptic network cable (FDDI) is 12 megaBYTEs per second. USB ain't gettin' anywhere near that...

USB 1.0
The tried and proven standard. Found on most modern motherboards USB is a popular method of communicating between peripherals such as printers, scanners, etc. It communicates at a rate of up to 12Mbps and allows the simultaneous connection of up to 127 devices with a maximum cable length of 5m per hop. Some low power devices can be powered from the interface eliminating the need for external power supplies.
USB 2.0
Speed restrictions on USB 1.0 have limited the realistic potential for the interface. With 127 devices connected it would not take much to saturate the 12Mbps bandwidth available for communication and degrade performance. USB 2.0 has increased the available bandwidth to 480Mbps. This also makes it a more realistic interface for devices such as external CD burners and DVD players requiring higher throughput.

I don't do a lot of file x-fer on local machines, but I can imagine moving an .iso around would be a lot easier on a Gigabit network!

Richard: we just have the linksys gigabit switch but it makes a huge difference transferring data between computers back and forth, esp since we're lazy and we don't want to put RAID in our systems so we just use cd image 7 and then shoot it to the main server with scsi raid arrays.
