I need to set up a network game with 8 computers (+internet on each). Is
there any website that can teach you, from A to Z, how to connect all the
pc's together. I need to install firewall also. What types (and how many)
hubs, routers, switches....etc do i need?
What should the minimum hard disk size for each pc?
What should the minimum required Mega Byte VGA card?

Pls help.
Thankx a lot...
