   Gigabit over Cat5   
   16 Aug 07 13:48:53   
   
   From: rlindsey@TAKETHISOUTazuma.com   
      
   We are currently using Paradox 8 with everyone on gigabit NICs and switches.   
   I've always had seemingly random problems occurring such as unable to open a   
   table with a TCursor even with only one Paradox open. I've check cabling and   
   switches, etc. but I never thought to look at the actual cable type.   
      
   I recently that we have a few cables that are only Cat5 and not Cat5e.   
      
   I've heard from some that gigabit over Cat5 is unstable and that Cat5e or   
   Cat6 is required. I've also heard from others that Cat5 is fine. Do any of   
   you have any experience with this?   
      
   Thanks,
