took a screen shot from a tutorial that lays out a table:

Hi everyone, I'm still chipping away at networking. Right now in class we are doing "custom subnetting" which I am finding difficult. I find the material that he has given us to learn is not explained very well, so I resorted to internet tutorials. Here is an excerpt from something I found...

I made a jpeg of a hub connecting three computers: Based on the model in the image above, can you give practical examples of the very lowest level send/receive functions? Perhaps if I understand those lower level functions, and the needs that create the demand for those functions, I would see...

Hi Airbonre, Can you actually send information to another computer with just a crossover cable? Don't you need some kind of device to generate transfer speed of some kind? How can I add a third computer to two computers connected with a cable. We need a device of some kind, don't we...

Alright Airborne, or anyone else, question for you: I was thinking about the difference between hubs and switches. What I understand about hubs is that they indiscriminately give (to every computer they are connected to) whatever they receive. However, what I don't understand is the...

Hi phyzguy and Aireborne18, Alright, that was great, thanks for that. Still unsure about some things, but I feel I've progressed. Ok, I will focus on those subjects, thanks. Very nice of you, thanks. Look out for this thread or other network related threads by me in the near future then...

Hey guys, I just started a networking course and I'm pretty bogged down with information that I'm trying to put into a rational context. From my understanding, networking first began with the telephone line, which is pretty straightforward. You have the sender and the receiver. Then there was...

Extremely. I don't even want to try to tackle it without getting a grasp on engineering a keypad to light up 10 different combinations of lights (0 - 9). That's boggling enough. Can you give me an example of such a project? Let's keep it real simple too, for instance, do you think it's...

Can we explore some extremely basic things based on what you just wrote? Terms I am not familiar with: pin (an anode?) common (a cathode?) I also don't know what you mean by "assuming a common cathode" what do you mean? All I really know at this point is that electricity flows into the anode...

Hold on a second. When you say each LED, are you talking about each of the 7 bulbs that comprise a single 7 seg LED?

Hello, Lately I've been trying to gain an understanding of processors/cpu's and the very lowest possible code you can engineer. I decided I would do a thought experiment where I would distill the computer down to the most basic level I could conceive, and decided that such a computer would...
