To be completely honest, it's because of two reasons. (The first is the most important). 1) I want to learn routing. 2) I have a 10 base2 card, and a machine that I *think* should be able to do it. I can afford the hub, if I need to, but throwing money at the problem is not my first approach. (if it was, I would be running Microsoft). -James Van Vleet SEI Information Technology bolsen@seanet.com (Bruce Olsen) wrote: >In article <30d9c54d.172078170@206.11.160.12>, vanvleet@rrnet.com÷ says... >> >>Hello all! >> >>Once again, a routing question comes up.
