as far as hubs go, don't worry too much, they're pretty reliable so cheap
and cheerful is the order of the day. As for cards, make sure that they are
Plug'nPlay ( if they are big name brands - ie;3com,Dlink etc - then even
better ), but other wise it's just a case of making sure all your machines
have matching sets of protocols,clients and services.
It's easier than it sounds - honest! Any probs then feel free to email me
direct.
Good luck....
