| 495171 | 2006-10-31 06:17:00 | So Hubs use token ring technique? | gum digger (6100) | ||
| 495172 | 2006-10-31 12:32:00 | Star topology. Basically hubs are an old version of a switch. They both allow you to conect multiple computers/devices to the network. With a hub only one computer can sucessfuly pass data through at a time. A switch is much faster with many devices using all at once, they work on different layers of the OSI model...getting complicated now. If you have a hub, use it, if you need to purchase buy a switch. |

| 495173 | 2006-10-31 22:23:00 | I have a hub lying around...But rob99 can we control the bandwith of Inernet on the other pc?. | gum digger (6100) | ||
| 495174 | 2006-10-31 23:58:00 | Not without getting more hardware, or installing bandwidth management software on the other PC - the 302g does not have a traffic shaper. | Erayd (23) | ||
| 495175 | 2006-11-01 10:30:00 | Hubs and switches are just a junction box with no configuration, yo will need a router to do that. | Rob99 (151) | ||
| 495176 | 2006-11-02 08:04:00 | OK i just got the free modem from Xtra & its DSL-502T. Now how do i connect this modem on the HUB?. there are 8 ports on the hub. all name X. |

| 495177 | 2006-11-02 10:07:00 | Yep just plug it into the hub, without knowing much about your hub I would stay away from the ports at each end and go for the middle ones first. Depending on the hub sometimes port 1 will be a uplink. Then plug your computers in. Run the xtra CD and you should be fine. Else 10.1.1.1 should get you into the modem, you may need to change your TCP/IP to obtain automatically or into the same range as the modem 10.1.1.2 etc. |
