At the moment, I've got 2 workgroups consisting of 5 computers connected via
CAT5 cable to a hub which is connected to another hub and the other group
via 10m of coax. The other group consists of 4 computers on a single coax.
Within this group, 2 computers connect to the internet via a USB connection
to an external ISDN modem with two ports, another computer connects to the
internet via a 56K modem. At the moment they are backing up data by a
portable PATA HD which means each machine has to be turned off and on . It
all seems a bit messy to me.
Roughly, how would you upgrade this setup and are there specific hubs,
routers that you would recommend?
Thanks for your expertise.
