Re: [TCLUG:5507] Hubs

Thanks, I ended up using them--seems impossible to find any local place that
sells these cables.

Here's another question related to my splitting computers problem...I've got
two computers I want to use the network.   I happen to have a hub as well,
and thought it would be as simple as hooking the network connection and my
two comps up to the hub.  Unfortunately, (probably for some obvious design
reason) the hub doesn't recognize the network connection, or won't
communicate with it, or however this works.  Does this mean I'm going to
have to make my linux box into a router as well (I also happen to have an
extra network card lying around, so it's not that big of a deal if that's
the case, although I imagine there will be a loss in speed.)
