11/06   Our house is thinking of getting wired to the ethernet, we have
        about 62 people and $3000 to get started with.  What do you guys
        reccomend we get?  DSL?  or t-1/t-3?  Note that not everyone will
        be using the net at the same time.  (also how many routers
        or hubs do you think we'll need? - should we go switched?)
        - paolo
        - ps.  Who should I get a hold of if we wanted to talk to get
          hookahed up to evans router?  gratze.

:q!

2/18    My DSL modem's ip address is 192.168.0.1, my internal network
        behind my router is 10.0.0.x. Is there a way I can configure
        the router so I can access the DSL modem from my 10.0.0.x
        network directly without re-wiring? Static routes? I tried it
        but no much luck. I also tried changing my internal network to
        192.168.0.x, but still does not work. Thanks.

8/29    What's the difference between a hub, a switch and a router?  Thx.
        \_ AFAIK, probably be corrected by someone:
           hub: Allows communication on a LAN with bandwith shared amongs all
                the nodes on the hub and maxing out at the max line speed.
           switch: Allows communication on a LAN with bandwith greater than
                the max line speed (point to point)

12/22   If I buy an 802.11 hub for my company (I'm a new admin), how many
        nodes/computers can 1 support, and what's the bandwidth? Say I have
        200 people in my company, how many hubs do I need? Thanks.
        \_ Theoretically you can support 223 devices max on each access
           point. In reality you shouldn't have more than 25-50 devices
           per AP, depending on what kind of users you have.

8/24    Is there any physical difference between USB 1.1 and 2.0?  Google is
        being unhelpful.
        \_ The sockets are the same, but the cable needs to support 2.0 speeds.
           "USB 1.1 certified" cables will work with 2.0 since that's how it's
           spec'd, but not all cables are even 1.1 certified.

1/9     What have you done with your old 5.25" floppies?
        Or even your 3.5" ones?
        \_ coasters
        \_ Threw them away, keeping the ones that looked important.
           It's a shame you can't recycle floppies, CDs, or jewel cases in
           the normal way.

12/7    Recommendations for a good file-sharing client? I'm mainly
        interested in shamelessly subverting copyright law (ie, downloading
        music MP3's). Kazaa seems to be sucking as of late.

4/27    I want to hook two ethernets together.  The distance would be greater
        than the 100m max. What's the best way to connect them? Is there an
        such a thing as a UTP-ethernet to coax bridge?
        \_ you need Cisco's LRE (Long Range Ethernet) technology.  It can
           go up to a couple of thousand feets using typical twisted pair
           like a phone line. -cisco guy

3/17    What are some good schools that do quantum computing research?
        \_ Stanford, Berkeley, MIT.
           \_ Stanford only has Colin Williams and not much else. Berkeley
              and MIT are probably the main hubs right now. There's also
              Andrew Yao at Princeton, some people at Cambridge and Weissman
              IIRC, and the rest are at Almaden and some of the national labs.
