Network Question
Posted by Ged on October 7th, 2003


Hi

I`m Installing a LAN card in a PC for a friend so that he can copy files to
his
laptop etc. He`s with Telewest Broadband and there is already a network card
installed.

Will it work with a second RJ45 card or do I need to configure the telewest
card.

Thanks for any help.

See,

(You didn't mention which OS)
If Internet sharing is also required try connection sharing software,
like ICS maybe.
Others are WinRoute
http://www.deerfield.com/products/winroute-firewall/
or Sygate Home Network

Is there something wrong with the BB NIC? If not you don't need to
change it's settings.


Best combination, for file and Internet sharing.

Simple method, go an buy a router and patch cables . Register the router
MAC address in BY selfcare,

Plug the CM into the router WAN port, plug in the PCs (PCs have TCP/IP
set to obtain setting automatically) to the router LAN ports and reboot
everything CM, router, PCs. (The MAC registrarion varies, it could be 5
minutes or several hours to work after the change)

Mr. Hathcock - obviously you have an issue with deerfield. Leave us
out of it! Why should I care about your opinion? If you want to offer
assistance on your product fine! but don't drag the rest of us into
your personal battles.

I'm sure _your_ partners that sell _your_ products appreciate the fact
you're telling customers to buy from the manufacture. It's obvious you
hold little value to your distribution channel.

Thanks 'Doug'.

I just asked a simple and obvious question. Rather than answer the
question you attack me? What's the point in that?

You must be running for office... That's amazing how you turned the
post into my problem. Bravo!

I would consider your question "Why go to Deerfield for WinRoute?"
legitimate if you had left it at that. But really, what value did that
add to the thread?

Perhaps the previous poster suggested deerfield because of positive
past experiences with the company.

The only "value" I've taken from this thread is that you hold little
regard for your distribution channel. I suppose everyone looking for
your product should go directly to you.

Let me get this straight - Al Gore created the Internet and you're
tasked with making sure everyone gets in line behind you. Beautiful!

I did "just leave it at that" but you continue to feel the need to
attack me for some reason.

Ha ha! Where is this coming from?

This is not a hard question to answer.

There are a number of reasons why a customer would elect to purchase
from a software vendor's sales channel partner, vs. the software
vendor themselves. These reasons include, price, convenience,
support, previous experience, localization, and other value added
services and products to name a few. Legitimate software companies
understand the value of sales channels to their customer, and that's
why they build them.

Hi Mike!

I do understand fully the value of sales partners. I have a very
large sales partner network myself after all and have just returned
from a trip which was focused in large measure on building it up
further: (http://www.altn.com/press/press_rele...?ReleaseID=81).
To be perfectly candid, I'm not sure you would be my first choice for
advise on sales channel related issues.

However, this is not the point under discussion. I did not ask the
question "What is the benefit of a sales channel". I asked this
question: "Why go to Deerfield for WinRoute". This, of course, is a
completely different question and remains entirely unanswered (so
far).

I would love to debate with you the pros and cons of selecting
Deerfield as a WinRoute vendor. I leave it to you to make that
decision.

Wow. Another product being "discontinued". This time it's VisNetic
WebSite. These customers are simply being dumped.
