question before i buy hub...

[sameer0807]

Hi,

I m going to buy a hub 'cause i want to connect my xbox to the same network as my pc.

I have tried router before, but i don't like it. So this time i want to go for a hub.

So my question is: which hub should i get? Are there any any recommened hub's? I would love any feedback on this.

Cheers :D

on a second thought I think its better to go for a networking switch.....I read some reviews, it seems like hub is dumb where as switch is smart networking device.

what you guys say?

Does your internet service provider let you have more than 1 IP?

If not then you need a router to assign local IPs.

What is it about a router that you don't like?

Buy a router, it is easier and much better.
