Hub Vs Switch.

Cynan
Hi. Currently I have two machines networked together directly, but I'm thinking, well, am going to, add another machine. So the question is, should I buy a hub, or go for a switch ? As I have have 3 machines, I think a hub would be fine, does everyone agree ? Oh.

NAT in my Routing and Remote Access

Anonymous
My server downstairs is running Windows 2000 Server. I have a T1 connection through my school, and I have multiple computers hooked up through my one internet connection using NAT (not ICS. . . which really seems to stink).

ICS alternatives + Firewall.

Cynan
Hi. Does anyone know of any ICS alternatives that *fully* support ICQ and NetMeeting ? The other thing to mention is a firewall. I was using ZoneAlarm Pro, but this is not fully compitable with dual systems, and doesn't seem to work fully with ICS and ICQ either.

Which is the best ALL-In-One Router?

falcon26
Ok, Right now I have a Cayman network router which Pacbell provide. It has a DSL modem built into it, which is cool, this way I don't have a DSL modem as well as a router hanging around. But I hate the way it looks (I know that's pretty lame) but its really ugly and it looks like its from the 1950's or something.

Frame

Malkosha
I have a WAN that runs on a dedicated 56K line. Since I'm going to frame, I had a company hook up a smart jack and I installed a new CSU. Router to Router on the 56K line I get pings of 30ms. Through the frame connection, router to router I get 130ms.

TCP/IP on startup

HawkBoy
What does win2k do to TCP/IP on start up? The reason for this Q is that it messes up my TCP/IP up. After a restart, I can't connect to FTPs. It gets in, but when I do a List or Dir command, it can't open a data connection.
