.ftssadJ8r3S.18@.1dcf90b3/226>Network design
Question as presented to our experts:
I am trying to design a network box whose main function is to translate the customers LAN (1 port) to our local LAN (8 ports). I plan on using an AMD SC520 Micro with built in PCI bus master then an Intel 82559 Ethernet controller (PCI bus 0) for the customer LAN. I want 8 ports in the local LAN. How do I accomplish this? Do I hang another 82559 on the PCI bus (1) then use some sort of repeater to get me 8 ports? Is there an all in one chip PCI option for this? Thank you very much for your help.

CHALLENGE #37: Networking student looking for advice on configuration
Question as presented to our experts:
I'm taking introduction course to networking and have a basic assignment. I'm trying to configure a network that would have 25 users and 1 server. Any suggestions as to what type of NOS, clients and hardware devices such as a switch or router should be used. This fictitious network is in a single floor warehouse/front office setup. I realize this is simple but I want to approach this within a 25,000 budget. Thanks

CHALLENGE #40: Improve bandwidth
Question as presented to our experts:
Here is my network setup:
Cable modem<--router<--switch 1<--switch 2(via uplink)
Would the computers connected to switch 2 see the same bandwidth (100mbps) as users connected to switch 1?
Would it be better to connect switch 2 to another port on the router to improve bandwidth?
