The Frequently Asked Questions list for Ethernet was compiled by readers of the comp.dcom.lans.ethernet list on the Usenet.
BEWARE! The Ethernet FAQ is old and out of date. While it still contains some useful information, the configuration rules listed in the FAQ are incorrect.
Note! The information in the FAQ is NOT guaranteed to be correct. The FAQ represents the readership of the Usenet list: some of the contributors to the FAQ helped design the Ethernet system, others are users of the system who may not be aware of all of the engineering issues.
For correct configuration information see the Quick Reference Guides.
This newsgroup discusses all manner of data communication cabling issues, including Ethernet cabling.
