Jim,
we are trying to test some devices that convert the ethernet info into
RF, pick up the RF at another unit that converts it back to ethernet.
if we set up another computer at the other end we can test the units
okay. i was hoping to cut expenses by combining the NIC cards into one
computer and send the ethernet info out to the devices and return the
data to the other NIC card, but Windows short circuits the path within
the computer.
thanks,
Tim
