how can I make my ethernet cable longer?

You can buy couplers but it is always better just to get a longer cable to minimise connections and reduce any problems.

- Goto MyCompter.\n- Right mouse button click.\n- Choose Device Drivers\n- Find your Ethernet controller card.\n- If it is not listed there then install the driver which is accompanied with your ethernet card(either CD/floppy).\n- Or find is there any backup available in your hard disk.\n- Or goto the ethernet card home page and download the driver for the model number.\n- Click setup.exe\n- Follow the instructions.\n- all the best.\n--------------------

get some alluminun foil and make it into a long snake    wrap it around the antenna   if possible  physically extend the antenna   also haveing alot of alluminum foil nearby the antenna helps   if you have any high speed usb ports on your computer   plug the adapter into them

The largest packet on an ethernet network is 1514 bytes. They can be smaller. If you want to see your actual packets you can use a product called Ethereal. It will caputure your packets so you can view them in the program to see what is happening.

If you see ethernet cables, they have two parts. One, the cable itself, second, the RJ45 connectior (the plastic thing at the end of the cable). A Crimper is a device that is used to attach this RJ45 connector to the cable.\n\nHere is a shot of that\nhttp://www.eclipsetools.com/ProductPics/Latest%20.jpegs/300-064.JPG

You can extend its range by using powered USB hubs theoretically. To do this, run a 10 foot cable to a hub (make sure the hub is the kind that plugs into an electrical outlet) and then plug the device into the hub. Theoretically (though I've never seen anyone try this), you could daisy chain one hub to another and extend the range almost indefinitely.

this question has a lengthy answer, so i hope you wouldn't mind if i just point to some sources of mine: \n\nhttp://www.homenethelp.com\n\nhttp://www.theresourcefork.com/WWWserver/techinfo/Build_Your_Own_Crossover_Cable/index.shtml

I think you are referring to ethernet... this is a cat5 cable.\n\nYou will have a jack(hole) on the side or back of the laptop that looks like, but is a hair bigger than a phone chord.\n\nor right click on "my computer" go to properties and click on device manager. You will see all devices there along with any issues you may be having like drivers not being installed.

Alternatively to a hub, you can use something called a "cross-over cable".\n\nThis cable allows the direct communications between two computers, which the Playstation is.\n\nYou should be able to pick one up for less then $10.\n\nA small ethernet hub will run you around $25.

Bothe end of the cable are not terminated at the same pin no. can be connected directly between computing device.

The standard gives the maximum length of cable is 100 meters.\n\nIf you need longer, look into coax or fiber-optic cable.  Or put an amplifier (switch or hub) at 100 meter intervals.\n\nAnd thanks Janus.  If you are trying to go over 200 meters, you are probably better off useing coax or Fiber.  Then, your limits are 185 meters.  Plus you will find it is more durable and cheaper then all-weather Cat-5/6.  About the only time coax is used anymore is for bridging distances outside.\n\nIf your distances are longer then that, look into some other form of transmission.

Wireless is always going to be slower.. its transmitting through air. You really want to connect with an ethernet cable, it will be faster and more reliable.. that may mean having to string a long cable through the house though. \n\nYou may also want to consider either a signal booster, to increase the range and signal of the router, or even a newer router such as the pre-N 802.11n ones.

get a better computer, or if it is online, get cable or connect to a low ping server

Some routing software allows such a limit\n\nYou will probably need to have a linux based router though and spend some time configing it

you could actually use the cable, you can also buy a cable tester, where you plug both ends in, run the test and some status LED's will give you the results\n\nhttp://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=45778&doy=6m4&C=SEO&U=Template

Hi,\n\nWhen you purchase your cable, grab a Cat5 cable.  Both Cat5 and Cat3 are standard cable types when it comes to ethernet.  Cat5 provides for a higher transmission rate than Cat3.\n\n99% of the time any cable you buy will be a Cat5 cable these days... Yes, ethernet = Cat5...  Hope this helps!
