Hiya Ron,
On 13-04-98, whilst lying in the gutter of the information super highway, I 
heard Ron Howard whispering to All about LAN PRO Card,
 RH> I bought 2 Lan Pro Ethernet cards recently but without an accompanying
 RH> coaxial cable. So I bought the cable separately in a store in which
 RH> the technician just assembled it. Now, I couldn't make the two cards
 RH> work, there seems to be no connection. Then I saw a message here
 RH> about terminators, do I need this to make a connection using coax and
 RH> how will I attach this and to where. 
You will need for any 10Base2 lan
n x ethernet card (You've got these)
n x T piece
n-1 x 50ohm coax
2 x 50 ohm terminator
where n is the number of PCs.
Place a card in each PC. Place a T piece on each card. Couple the wires up 
between the PCs. Place a terminator on the ends of the resultant "daisy 
chain" of machines.
   X-+-=========-+-X
     |           |
     PC          PC
where -+-
       |
is a T piece and X is the terminator and ====== is the coax.
You can't make it work by just plugging the coax into the cards.
 RH> I dont want to use the other type of wiring in which I have to buy a hub 
or something. 
Hubs and cat5/RJ45 wiring are more resilient and more easily expandable but 
are generally overkill for a home network (says he with a cat5 wired 16 meg 
Token Ring LAN at home.)
 RH> I'm NEW to this Networking thing.
We all started somewhere. Look at me. You could have hit me around the head 
with a router 2 years ago and I wouldn't have known what hit me. I'm a 
network engineer now. (Quite a good one so I'm told as well.)
