neo1980 Posted November 2, 2001 Share Posted November 2, 2001 I have a realtek network card for Excite@Home connection, in my network card connection i can see there are 4 options, 1. Base5 2. Base10 3. Half Duplex (Default) 4. Full Duplux can someone please explain what they mean and which one I should have for a FAST download ( dont care about upload) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmd3x Posted November 3, 2001 Share Posted November 3, 2001 I can tell you that full duplex is better for me when I am gaming over a network. If this network card is within 3 or 4 years old, it is probably at least 10baseT which i belive means 10 megs per second. So don't worry about your network card slowing down your internet too much, you should be more worried about the modem or type of ISP (Dial-up, DSL, Cable, T1, etc.) connected to the network that you are using.

neo1980 Posted November 3, 2001 Author Share Posted November 3, 2001 so i should switch to 10BaseT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmd3x Posted November 3, 2001 Share Posted November 3, 2001 What do you have available? If you want a faster network set it to full duplex and 100base if it supports it. If it does not support 100base then 10 will do ok. As long as you are not doing something hardcore like playing Unreal Tournement or Quake III over the network, whatever it is right now should be fine for downloading. Unless it is really F'd up.

sailgreg Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 I would put it one fullduplex, then you can download and upload at the same time at 10mbps each way :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
