>>>>I am using the words ethernet and network interchangeably in this context.<<<< >>I'm not sure what that means. Network interfaces (NICs or mobo chips) are protocol-specific. Surely we are actually talking about ethernet here. I can't imagine token ring, for instance. You can't just interchange anything with anything, you know.<< Spot and Sean I respect your opinion when it comes to networks. But I still don't think I was that far off when I said I was using the terms ethernet and network interchangeably. My basis for my conclusion is the following definition. Ethernet A local area network (LAN) developed by Xerox, Digital and Intel (IEEE 802.3). It is the most widely used LAN access method. Token Ring is next. Ethernet is normally a shared media LAN. All stations on the segment share the total bandwidth, which is either 10 Mbps (Ethernet), 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet) or 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet). With switched Ethernet, each sender and receiver pair have the full bandwidth. To read the full definition for ethernet go to techweb.com By the way Tech Web is a very good place to look up definitions for technical terms.
