hi,
have recently purchased a HP procurve 1410 8 port switch to add to my netgear dg834.
atm i have the setup as Router > Switch > File Server
...................................| | > Backup server
...................................| Family Pc > Main Pc
...................................Laptop
Now so far ive used a CAT 6 cable to connect the switch to the router and everything off the swicth (the family pc and laptop are wireless)
i read somewhere that if you connect a second (or third) cable between the router and switch you can improve bandwidth. is this true?
i have tried it but when i connect the second cable all the PC's go to local area network only?
is there a way round this or will it just not work?
cheers
