I have a PC connected through a Cat V cable to a 10 Base T Hub (approx 200-300 feet away). A Cat V cable then runs from the hub to our network server (NT4.0) about 300-350 feet away.
1) I tried using a 10/100 Base T hub and got no network connectivity at the PC end. I can get connectivity if I hook a PC directly into the Cat V cable that runs from the network into the hub. But somewhere between the 10/100 base T hub and the PC end location I lose connectivity.
2) When I tried the 10 Base T hub, I get connectivity at the PC. We run 2 network servers and connectivity to the Novell server is great. We use a NT 4.0 server for the purpose of printing to our photocopier and using the internet. I have an IP sharer on the NT server. When I try to connect to the NT to access the internet I get nothing.
3) I tried pinging the NT server and this is the message I get:
PING STATISTICS:
PACKETS: SENT=4,RECEIVED=0,LOST=4 (100% LOSS)
approx round trip times in milli-seconds:
mimimum=0ms, maximum=0ms, average=0ms
** Can you clue me in as to what this is telling me and what I need to do to possibly correct it.
I appreciate any help I can get.
