I didn't know they still made hubs. > There is a difference between a hub and a switch. A switch will apply some thought and only send data to the correct ports whereas a hub will broadcast it to every port. Switches will give you better network performance but I'd suggest that in the situation you described you wouldn't notice a diffrerence between them, so you might as well get whatever you can find cheaply. if you're interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_switch#Hubs_vs_switches -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
