MasterRepair and SYGATE / Networking computers

StreetWalker/ Dan S.: Marty @MasterRepair didn't have G810s in stock,
referred me to Alan? @Armidillo who didn't have G810s in the showroom
but is supposed to check warehouse and call. Am I limiting my chances
of getting filled on 4 G810s by making such a narrow choice? Would it
be wiser to accept P815s or P813s or P810s as well? What sense do you
get of MasterRepair/ArmidilloBros's 21" model flow?

MasterRepair is on a first come first serve basis and they get new shipments in once a month. My suggestion would be to contact them
and ask when they will get their new shipment in. The G810 is cheaper because it is an older model. If you are buying 4, they
should give you a nice price cut, regardless of the models you choose.

StreetWalker: what plug setup on the extra ethernet card do you need
to make Sygate work? If possible I'll get that to temporarily bring
the new machine into my Linksys hub (which uses 10baseT) as well as
to facilitate possible sharing connections via Sygate in the
future. I'll recover a Linksys ethernet PCI card when I cut over to
the new machine. (I do plan to run with simultaneous (but not
shotgunned) V.90 links most but not all of the time - but may have
more than 2 computers hence Sygate.)

If you are using a telephone ISP, then there is no need for an extra
ethernet card. That is only needed if you are using something like
a cable modem, inwhich two cards will be in the gateway computer - the one that has sygate in it. For Sygate, all you need is an ethernet card in each of your computers. The computer with the modem you will be using will become your gateway.

Directions: Install the cards
Download Sygate: sygate.com
(I traded stocks running 3 computers for over a week on the free trial version)

Then hook the cards to the hub using the thick telephone-like cords.

Go into your : My Computer >>>Control Pannel>>>>>NETWORK
and double click on "TCP/IP name of your installed card"

IP ADDRESS: These are the numbers I used:
IP address: 192.168.22.1 for computer #1 (then changed last number of other computers)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

WINS Configuration: click on Disable WINS Resolution
GateWAy: in the computer where sygate is downloaded, LEAVE this blank! In all the other computers, type: 192.168.22.1 and click ADD. (note this is the number of the IP address you assigned to your number 1 gateway computer)

Configuration: Disable DNS

All the other stuff just leave how it is.

This is real basic. Took the guy I watched doing it just a few
minutes. I had never seen a network established and was amazed at the
simplicity.

If you get stuck, I suggest you refer to Sygate troubleshooter
at homepage.

Let me know how it goes.

Regards,
S.W.
