Token Ring to Ethernet Migration

by jkeav634 . Updated 24 years, 1 month ago

The site has 7 PC’s using 3com Combo
cards(coax and ethernet) in a token ring
enviroment. All systems are running Win
95/98. We have purchase a non-managed HP
switch and will be changing everyone over to
ethernet(removing all coax).
My question is:
Will this migration just be a matter of
disconnecting the coax and running the cat5
wires and connecting them to the switch?
Will I have to redo any drive mapping or
anything like that? I assume since the pc’s are
already setup for tcpip that this should not be
a problem.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks
