Hi John,
 JW> I've a couple of really simple questions to ask, and I can't find the
 JW> info I'm after anywhere!
 JW> a) Ethernet cable compared to thin ethernet.
       Ethernet Cable is a cable which is support ethernet standard,
       thin ethernet cable refer to 10Base2 which is the cable similiar
       to TV cable.
 JW> b) The cable you plug into a RJ45 connector, why are there catagories?
       It just because the different quility, Cat. 5 is the best.
 JW> c) 10baseT and 10base2, (I think from memory!)
       10BaseT is the cable using RJ45, 10Base2 is the cable using
       BNC.
 JW> d) What type of cable would most utilise a server and 5 clients running
 JW> NW 4.11 with 3Com900 network cards? What cable supports 100Mb/s the
 JW> best?
     If you want to support 100Mbps, Twisted Pair (The one using RJ45)
     is the only cable support.
     Have fun....
