Would it make more > sense to use a hub or crossover cable? Yes, use a hub. Then when Caladan, Ix, Draconus_IV, Salusa_Secundus, and finally Tleiax enter your network, they too can be connected to the Spacing Guild as well. ; ) Then, if you want various transient satellites (wireless laptops, perhaps) to use wireless, then I'd have a cable from the hub to a wireless hub. Try to keep that wireless access point secured though. It might be better to keep a firewall in between the wireless access point and the rest of your network just to keep things secure. A hardware firewall, of course. I don't place much faith in software ones. But that's your decision. I just said how I'd build a network given that objective of setup. Hope you find something that works! -- ========== GCv3.12 ========== GCS d-(++) s+: a? C++ UL+>++++ P+ L++ E--- W+(+++) N++ o? K? w--- O? M+ V? PS- PE+ Y-(--) PGP- t+++ 5?
