server/Lan

[Jiggy]

here goes, a Lan server with say 10 PCs hook to it, a nice connection T1/T3 to the server. heres my question, how does the server dish out the T1/T3 connection to the 10 PCs. and what part of the server does this task.

forgive me, im young. Jiggy http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

the waitress comes by with the menu... and then ...................

sounds like a homework question to me......

it depends on your method of connection......... protocol......OS.......if you're by yourself or with somebody... if you went to different schools together......

Jig,

I think the biggest part of how is to think of what kind of equipment would be doing the slicing and dicing....we're not talk Ginsu here but a network....so think alomg those lines.

......as he tells the waitress, "I didn't order Mayo."

The waitress removes a slice of bread from his sandwich and wipes the Mayo on the corner of his table.


Still messin' w/you.

Actually most of it will depend on how the other machines are connected...hub, router....whatnot....having a "fat" pipe doesn't automatically guarantee a high speed connection to a network if the other equipment limits the speed in some way.

Waitress did that to me, and i'd put a size 12 in her rear! http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

As mjc pointed out it's pretty much dependant on your equipment; for instance-you'd want to go with a router if your planing on using internet sharing among these PC's, make sure you have them all configured for TCP/IP protocol, good NIC cards in each-i would suggest that the server run W2K-clients can be w95/98/ME-or stick to W2k on all for increased security and networking benefits.

The entire process takes place due to the protocols ( this allows the systems to talk to each other )and the client ( usually MS ) , and the of course you have to have these bound ( binding process ) to the NIC.

Go here, Windows networking guide (http://www.wown.com/) one of the best explanantory guides on the net i've ever seen. It'll help fill you in on the dirty details. http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/smile.gif

Just to see if I can...

NT server and probably Win2000 use Remote Access Service to provide an Internet connection or a connection to other remote networks. RAS works by making the modem emulate another network connection so client computers can dial out to other networks or the Internet. RAS can be configured so that only the server can dial out to other networks or client computers connected to the network can dial out as well. RAS services must be installed on the client computers. RAS supports TCP/IP, Net BEUI and IPX/SPX protocols. TCP/IP is used by the Internet and is the most difficult to configure.

As simply as I can put it, when using RAS the server sees the modem as a NIC and shares that connection the same as it would other computers on the network. That allows the server and client computers to connect to the Internet or to other outside networks, such as another company's network across town.
