Product Description
From the Manufacturer
The 3Com OfficeConnect Fast Ethernet NIC is ideal for small office environments looking for a reliable, easy to install, cost-effective networking solution. Designed for small offices and home-based businesses, the 3Com OfficeConnect Fast Ethernet network interface card (NIC) (3CSOHO100-TX) is ideal for Pentium-class desktop computers with internal 32-bit PCI expansion slots. The NIC is 10/100, meaning that it can connect to either 10BaseT or 100BaseTX networks. Its auto-sensing capability allows the NIC, when connected to a hub port, to automatically sense and connect at the correct network speed--whether 10 or 100 Mbps. This means small offices can begin using the NIC now, even if they don't plan to upgrade to a faster 100 Mbps network right away. Simply connect the NIC to a hub port via Category 5 (UTP) cable for network access. Like all 3Com NICs, the 3Com OfficeConnect Fast Ethernet NIC boasts top-notch performance to allow small offices to share files, exchange e-mail, and manage other LAN-based applications quickly and efficiently. By simultaneously performing multiple processing tasks, the OfficeConnect Fast Ethernet NIC provides the fastest data transfer speeds available for the PCI bus. The OfficeConnect Fast Ethernet NIC is optimized to work in Windows environments-- specifically PCs running Windows 95, 98 or NT. The installation software allows connection from the PC to Microsoft and Novell NetWare networks. Not only is the NIC powerful and reliable, it is easy to install. Like all 3Com NICs, the OfficeConnect NIC is plug-and-play compliant with Windows 95 and 98, and includes a Windows-based diagnostics and configuration utility for easy installation and troubleshooting. Link-activity and network-status LEDs provide a convenient at-a-glance indication of network health and status. 3Com's comprehensive documentation goes a long way in making installation easy, especially for the small office customer who may be new to networking. The user guide covers topics ranging from the basics of networking to step-by-step instructions on how to install and use the NIC under Windows 95, 98, and NT. More information on the benefits of networking for small offices can be found in the Network Assistant CD-ROM that ships with the NIC.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Best NIC in AMAZON.Com,
By Steve Bradford (Frederick, Maryland USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 3Com 3CSOHO100-TX Office Connect Fast Ethernet Network Interface Card (Personal Computers)
AMAZON shoppers beware of the cheap NIC trap. Opt for a NIC that is both dependable and configurable. That card is the 3Com SOHO100. A 10/100 Meg card with virtually everything going for it: Built-in encryption, on-board auto-configuration, and an Microsoft and user-friendly interface to adjust to your networks specific settings. Easy to install and extremely dependable. These cards work! The is no justification for buying a bad (or "value-priced") NIC card. Buy a dependable 3Com and your network will thank you!

No Windows 2000 Support,
By Jim Gary (St. Petersburg, FL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 3Com 3CSOHO100-TX Office Connect Fast Ethernet Network Interface Card (Personal Computers)
I paid a premium for this card and don't understand why 3-Com hasn't released Win2K drivers. What's up with that 3-Com?

Avoid this card!,
By Jim W. "jbwjr" (Vicksburg, MS USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 3Com 3CSOHO100-TX Office Connect Fast Ethernet Network Interface Card (Personal Computers)
This card does not even deserve one star. 3Com no longer supports this card, so there are no drivers for Win 2000, etc. Avoid this card!
