In a hub, all the ethernet traffic appears at all ports of the hub. Even those not meant for your computer. In a switch, this is segregated. It reduces collissions and improves performance. With a switch, only your computer gets traffic intended for it, and the other computers on the switch do not get YOUR data on their ethernet cable. They are expensive devices. -- Ramon Gandia ============= Sysadmin ============== Nook Net http://www.nook.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] 285 West First Avenue tel. 907-443-7575 P.O.
