Hi All,
I have a got a very simple query for the experts here as I am not much into networking field.
My requirement:
- Personal web server
- some laptops/PC
I have a router/modem that terminates my internet connection and my webserver is connected to it. and I want to use my PCs but don't want to directly connect them to the router ports as there are only 3 ports.
So I am planning to use a 8 port switch for a LAN among my PCs i.e. I want to connect the switch to the router and want to connect all the PCs to the switch. I am planning to use a gigabit switch so that my lan network is fast and would use Cat6 cables or would cat5e would be ok for me, I reuire good transfer rate among the PCs.
I just want to know in simple steps what all key configuration I would have to do to setup such a network. or if there are any tutorial or site for details about this, would be good for me.
Any suggestions would be gr8 as I have been trying to get some info about this on net and found this forum useful.
Cheers,
Hungry Mind
