| 621409 | 2007-12-15 18:23:00 | A while ago, I was trying to transfer a large file from my computer to another via ethernet. My computer connects directly to my 4-port router/adsl modem. The hub also connects direct to the router. The other computer was connected to the hub The file transfer would always fail. Out of sheer anooyance, I took the hub out of the picture by using its connection to the router and plugging it into the computer. Worked fine. Is my hub screwed or something? |

| 621411 | 2007-12-15 19:24:00 | Well, actually there's nothing to setup on a hub. Whether the ports are on a router, or on a standalone hub/switch. It either goes or it doesnt. It should detect whatever and it should work. I've never seen any duplex, or speed settings, on a hub/switch. Just as long as you're not using a crossover for whatever, thats plugged into the hub, it should work. I dont think there's any diff between an ethernet hub and a switch is there? If a ethernet cable plugs into it, then its both. |
