Weirdy Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 question if you have a router and hub, can you set one of the inputs on the hub to be a node which is also connected to the router to connect more computers to the internet with the router? for example[router] [0000] | | ||_ _ | [hub] | [0000] | |__| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken_cinder Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 If you mean hooking the router up to the hub via the uplink port, it should work.....in theory. It's just like hooking up your cable/dsl modem in that way, and having multiple machines be assigned unique IP adresses. The more I think about it, the more it makes sense that it should work.

Ok, just wondering just incase it ever came to the point where all the input slots on the router would be full Edited October 22, 2005 by Weirdy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
