With a hub, they will notice them all (as will everyone else on your cable segment). With a switch, or better yet a router with NAT capability, they will never know how many machines you have connected, and you will not have to pay for the extra addresses that are needed with a hub. -- Eric Hildum -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
