- Dial-Up Networking Troubleshooting Reference (Lynn Larrow)
- This is an attempt to document some common problems that you might have with your dial-up TCP/IP connection. Originally, this page was made to address using Trumpet Winsock and SLIP emulation software. The focus of this guide will now be on troubleshooting Dial-Up TCP/IP networking connections in general, which should apply to a wide range of dial-up TCP stacks, Windows 95 DUN (Dial Up Networking) and Windows NT RAS.
- Fibre Channel Industry Association (FCIA)
- Fibre Channel, a highly-reliable, gigabit interconnect technology allows concurrent communications among workstations, mainframes, servers, data storage systems, and other peripherals using SCSI and IP protocols. It provides interconnect systems for multiple topologies that can scale to a total system bandwidth on the order of a terabit per second. Fibre Channel delivers a new level of reliability and throughput. Switches, hubs, storage systems, storage devices, and adapters are among the products that are on the market today, providing the ability to implement a total system solution.

- Network Packet Capture FAQ (Internet Security Systems, Inc.)
- Unlike telephone circuits, computer networks are shared communication channels. It is simply too expensive to dedicate local loops to the switch (hub) for each pair of communicating computers. Sharing means that computers can receive information that was intended for other machines. To observe and appropriate the information going over the network is network packet capturing.
