From Rex: "Although a hub and a switch serve the same purpose, a switch assigns the PCs their own IPs whereas a hub just routes IPs from one PC to another.
You have to make sure the switch is one that will assign the IP though (in other words, ask when you buy it if that is what you are looking for)."
He says it could even be called a hardware switch...he doesn't remember.
As long as he doesn't suggest a light switch I guess it ain't all bad? [img]smile.gif[/img]
