Nah, you can run it longer. I've run a single segment from the shipping office
to the server room (approx. 900') works fine. Packet loss was a tad above
average, but they were only using a term into our (painfully) old inventory
system so retransmissons weren't that noticeable.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

We used coax (was that 10base-2?) when I first introduced networking to our
office. We were gaily adding devices and I started warning "it's going to
fail, we're going to have a problem". No no no said the IT manager - coax
segments can be 185m long - we're nowhere near that.
"But there's a maximim 30 devices per segment I said". No no no he
said.
And when I added device 33 (the MD's pc, no less), the network fell over :-) Cue
an emergency order for two bridges to split the network up :-)
Cheers,
