That is exactly how it should be done. BTW someone mentioned switches and hubs in the same sentence. They are two different things and should not be confused as being interchangable. A hub is just a device that allows connectivity between two or more PCs. This is a high collision device which means that packets collide during transmission across the LAN, etc. This reduces Data Transmission (without being to technical). A switch is an inteligent device that does not allow collisions and routes the signal Hope this helps and have a great day : I should leave the : cat5 cable coming from the wall where it is right now ( and then install : another NIC and hook the cat5 cable going out of it to one of the ports in the : hub. The cat5 cable coming out of the other PC's NIC should also go to another : port on the hub.... is that it ? : : --------------------- : Hanan AL-Shargi : : : ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- : Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? : Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com :
