dual lan?

[dragonmstr]

Why does the DFI "LANPARTY nF4 SLI-DR" have 2 Lan ports? i dotn see what the purpose could be besides like a built in router?
what is the second for?

 

[senseless]

if one breaks you can use the other?

Some people like to use briding mode to connect their pcs? (god help them)

2 seperate lans? (one for work/vpn one for internet?)

 

[dragonmstr]

so the other useless then? if u connect both to a router will it speed up connection? lol

i thought one was a gigabit lan and the other was a 10/100

 

[dragonmstr]

whats tje difference between gigabeit lan and 10/100?

 

[senseless]

nothing, 90% of gigabit cards are also 10/100

 

[dragonmstr]

ok thanks for help everyone just got a little confused why they would do that.

One for hooking up to the net (10/100), and one for LAN parties (Giga).
