7300/200 Connected via Ethernet port to a Belkin 4 port Router iMac Rev. b Connected via Ethernet port to the same Router Toshiba Notebook with PCMCIA Ethernet Card connected to same Router Router Connected to cable modem Cable Modem connected to cable outlet in wall. All three computers can be online at the same time. No need for switcher, or hub. Router does it all, and I can share files over the network while online. (I also have a splitter on the 7300 end going to my XCLAIM VR card, so I can watch TV while sharing files and surfing the net simultaneously!)
