The Future Of Gaming: Hardware - Cable Modems cable modems Page 1 The Internet Rushes to the Consumer By Evan Jones TheInternet is the fastest growing sector of the massive computer industry. http://www.eng.uwaterloo.ca/~ejones/oldsites/fog/hardware/cablemodems/
Extractions: The Internet is the fastest growing sector of the massive computer industry. With its free, global transfer of data in a split second, the Internet has quickly become a communication tool as important as the telephone. The biggest stumbling block to the Internet becoming a serious gaming network is bandwidth. Bandwidth is the amount of data that can be transferred over a certain medium. Modems over phone lines, the standard way to connect to the Internet, are very slow. They can handle text data fast enough, but when you add pictures, sound and video they are insufficient. There are alternatives to phone lines. Various digital line types are available, and they are fast. The problem is that they are too expensive for the average consumer to use. What is really needed is low cost, high speed, widely available Internet access. That is what cable modems promise to deliver. Imagine being about to play a game like Ultima Online , where instead of typing to everyone you can actually talk to everyone.

Hardware: Cable Modem Market Closes Century On A High Note The worldwide cable modem market displayed vigorous growth in the third quarter of1999, with shipments of cable modems for connection to PCs reaching 833,000 http://cyberatlas.internet.com/big_picture/hardware/article/0,1323,5921_270821,0
Extractions: By Michael Pastore The worldwide cable modem market displayed vigorous growth in the third quarter of 1999, with shipments of cable modems for connection to PCs reaching 833,000 units in the quarter, according to Dataquest Inc. In the first half of 1999, cable modem shipments totaled 1.08 million units. At this rate, Dataquest analysts said they expect cable modem shipments will reach, and possibly exceed, 3 million units for 1999, with revenue expected to approach $700 million. "The North American market remains the driving force behind the unrelenting demand for higher-speed Internet access alternatives, accounting for more than three-quarters of all modem shipments," said Patti Reali, senior analyst for Dataquest's e-Remote Access Worldwide program. "With the PC now morphing into a communications device in the home, the unrelenting high visibility of everything Internet, as well as the rapidly expanding market for remote teleworkers and home offices, cable modem-based Internet access offers what consumers want at a highly competitive price point."
Extractions: November 16th, 2001 Greetings, folks! Today we talk about one of our favorite topics: Networking. First we look into problems connecting an older iMac with a cable modem, and then we get into a couple of printer-related networking issues as well. If you have a question of your own, you can e-mail me , or ask in the Ask Dave/Mac Support Boards , where everyone can take a stab answering your questions! For now, read on! Sam Pratt writes, "I just had a cable modem installed at home for an old iMac 233, and expected a simple installation I've done this before at my office, no hassles, three different types of Macs. Though I set the TCP/IP and AppleTalk control panels correctly, no juice from the Ethernet port. Navigator and Explorer can't make a connection. I threw away every possible preferences file in sight. Zapped the PRAM several times now. Ran Norton. Ran TechTool. Upgraded the firmware and upgraded from OS 8.6 to 9.1. Still nothing. I tested the cable modem connection with a PowerBook running OS 9.1 no problems. So the cable modem is doing its job. I'm starting to think there is a hardware problem with my Ethernet port. Any final suggestions before I drag it in to be serviced?" But if you plug your computer into a hub with a normal (non-crossed) CAT-5 Ethernet cable, you should get a link light. If you don't, there's something wrong with the machine.

Extractions: Dedicated NAT/Firewall box This article explains how to set up a home network using a dedicated NAT/Firewall box. In essence the features of a separate box are about the same as what the software solutions provide. This is described in the article about " Software NAT, Firewall or Proxy? ", that also covers the two reasons (sharing one IP address and providing security) for having these functions. This is what you need: Cable or DSL Modem, The printer is optional. The links section has a fairly comprehensive list of specific products that are more or less targeted at the SOHO, home business and tele-commuter markets. Look under "Internet Sharing > Hardware". My recommendation is the Linksys cable router box - read my review here.

Extractions: Cable modems can be either internal or external to the computer . In some cases, the cable modem can be part of a set-top cable box, requiring that only a keyboard and mouse be added for Internet access. In fact, if your cable system has upgraded to digital cable, the new set-top box the cable company provides will be capable of connecting to the Internet, whether or not you receive Internet access through your CATV connection. Regardless of their outward appearance, all cable modems contain certain key components:
