Introduction
The D-Link DGE-528T is ideal for the small office or home office environment. After completing the
steps in this manual, you will have the ability to share information and resources - such as files and
printers - and take full advantage of a “connected” environment for work and play!
The DGE-528T comes with drivers for the most popular operating systems and can be integrated
into a larger network. However, this manual is designed to help you network two computers running
Windows 95/98, Windows Me and Windows 2000 in a peer-to-peer configuration. Yet, the standards
compliant DGE-528T gives you the flexibility to expand and customize your Fast Ethernet / Gigabit Ethernet
network at will.
The Fast Ethernet standard allows you to connect computers and devices at speeds up to 100 Mbps.
Gigabit Ethernet allows speeds up to 1000 Mbps. A Dual-Speed 100/1000 Mbps Ethernet / Gigabit Ethernet
network combines both standards allowing computers and devices of different speeds to communicate
with each other. The DGE-528T is a Dual-Speed 100/1000 Mbps Fast Ethernet / Gigabit Ethernet network
card.
