'ello alls..... I think this will be my first post in here.. but anywhoo..
Ok heres my question... I am on a cable modem setup 3 present computers runnin through a router Linksys something or other... 4 port router.. and I am runnin Win98se (for now) and I was checkin a few things with netstat and what not and decided to check and see how my Ip was setup... just bored kinda just lookin and tryin to learn... but again i wander... I ran winipcfg and Opened it up to look at my IP and all ... and it doesnt list my nic/lan Card... It reads as a PCI Bus Master Adapter... why is that? All the other times its read as a nic/lan card... whats the deal?
I do know a little about networking but not a whole lot... I can setup a LAN but beyond that Im a lil lost... Any ideas why it read this way? thanks... just tryin to learn a lil ?! :p
