A hub and switch are two devices that split the bandwidth coming from any ethernet device that is connected to them they will not route communications from your LAN to the internet. All they do is split the bandwidth so your modem can see all of the MAC addresses connected to it so it will only give a connection to one of those devices.

A switching hub can be considered to represent a multiple-port bridge, with a complicated internal bus that allows full cross-point switching. Such a hub has low latency packet delay and allow several conversations simultaneously. It has larger bandwidth than hubs. See similar questions...

Your DSL modem's sole purpose is to transmit and receive blurps of voltage as data. It does not know what the data is nor does it understand IP. In this respect, your DSL modem acts like your PC analog modem. All IP addresses must to be assigned to a network interface - like a network card (or dial up adapter in the case of dial up). Inserting the modem into a hub will not accomplish sharing because neither the HUB nor DSL MODEM understand IP. See similar questions...

Good question. According to the USB spec, software is required to connect not only to first tier devices, but also to any plugged into USB hubs. It appears that there is a bug in the Kodak Mounter and USB connection software causing it to fail unless the camera is "device #0", connected directly to the computer. See similar questions...

A hub is a network device that extends the network so that you could connect more than one computer to the network jack. A network hub can be borrowed from the ITS department. Verify if your hub has a button called Normal/uplink near the rightmost end. It is not necessary that your hub should have the Normal/uplink button. If you see the button, make sure you press the button inwards to set it to uplink. See similar questions...

Yea, not really a good idea to install IE7 and Live Messenger on the same machine. IE7 did some weird stuff with my default browser settings and causes messenger to crash for no reason when links are clicked. About a few days ago, everything froze and I had to hard reset my poor laptop. After the machine boots up, it threw in a blue screen with errors in the registry. Trying to fix it with the recovery console didn't work out too well, so I had to install a new copy of Windows XP over it. See similar questions...

The router allows you to make a connection between your network and ADSL, so that more than one computer in your LAN can access the Internet. Certain models may give you further options such as security (firewall). A hub is the point of connection for the router and the computer to connect to the network. A switch acts like a hub but allocates an independent bandwidth to each user. This means the data transfer speed will not be decreased by additional users. See similar questions...

In fact, all 56K modems support a range of connect rates, mainly between 30K and 54K. See similar questions...
