Need NIC for home version of XG

Scott_D_L

Hi Folks,

I need a 2 port NIC that will work with XG that I can order quickly for a home version install.  I bought a Dell T30, but it doesnt like the onboard NIC.  Any suggestions?

 

I'm thinking a Intel Pro 1000/PT   ?

    Hi ,

    You may use any Intel chip based NIC cards.  unless you have a fiber connection 1000/PT would not be needed for WAN. As for Inter LAN communication, it should go through your switch.

    Thanks Aditya. I went with the Pro 1000/PT as that's the cheapest card   could find with a 2 day delivery time from Amazon.  I have ethernet(cat5/copper) hand off from cable modem so no need for fiber.   If this card does not work when it arrive I will reply back back to the thread. 

     

    Thanks,
