Lo all,
Right, im setting up a network at home. Ive got my gaming PC, i want to run as little as possible on here and use it purely for games. Ive also got a Linux PC that im learning Linux with and and PC running XP for all the usual stuff.
Ideally i want to connect all 3 PCs to the net at the same time or individually. Currently its setup that one PC downstairs always has to be on as its the Gateway. Pain in the backside if noones using it.
Currently i am using an old round cable/connector setup that runs at 10MB. Also its using a speedtouch USB ADSL modem.
All 3 PCs are going to be in one room. My gaming PC has firewire (that i still havent setup or installed into the PC
)
I really dont want to have a firewall running on my gaming PC and i want a cable system for reliability.
So im looking at 3 networks cards, cables and a what?? Router/firewall??
Any suggestions gratefully received.
