I looking for an firewire & Ethernet Hub or switch. Does this even a product. :confused:

[SB]

http://www.pricewatch.com/ and search for firewire hub - I got 2 pages of em.

Wait a sec, are you looking for an ethernet hub/switch that also has firewire connections?

[SB]

Didn't see any with 1394 AND ethernet though...

[condor]

let's get thing right..

you want a single Hub for IEEE1394 (FireWire) and IEE802.2/3 (Ethernet) ?

I don;t think there's such a thing...


Firewire hub you cant get ...

as for Ethernet Hub - Personnaly I would recommend a switch ..

if it's only a few computers I would go with Nortel Networks Baystack 70 Switch..

if it's larger network - I would still go with Nortel Switch, only get a managed one -

you can use Nortel advisor ..

Yes that what I'm looking for an single Hub for IEEE1394 (FireWire) and IEE802.2/3 (Ethernet) and thats what I'm wondering if there is such a hub or switch. Thanks everbody for the help so far.

no such thing...they are not even close to the same thing. see www.firewireworld.com (http://www.firewireworld.com) for reference

Nor should you expect such a thing. Firewire is bieng harnessed by the video industry and I would not expect much more from the interface - hard drives, removeable storage and audio/video input/output.

Thanks again

www.3com.com (http://www.3com.com) - check for the superstack III 3300 series.

I think the FM has a firewire jack

It has an exceptional application for servers. Clustering shouldn't be done without it, nor NAS (Network Attached Storage for you people who don't know)
