Hi I’m currently at college and I’ve been giving some work to do in which I have to create a network of my choice in which (I chose a Gaming Centre) can anyone give me any information relating to what I would need to go about creating this network relating to the following:

I’ve got the following covered – Cat 5E cable using backbone etc. that’s bout it lol.
I need help with what kind of network cards to use. Also shall I opt to use Windows XP? What Hardware/Specifications/Costs for building the network as well?

NOTE: I do not actually have to create a network but I do have to have an understanding as if I was going to create a network. (The network building will start on the 1/01/04 (supposedly start lol) and will finish on the 13/03/04 in which that’s the length of time I have to create the network)

If you can help I would appreciate it a lot thanks...
