Ok, here goes:
i want to set up a network with 4 computers, cable internet and 2 hubs, 2 comps would be in one room with the cable and a hub, 2 computers in another room with a hub
so i would connect the computers and cable modem to their respective hubs, cabel would be on uplink port, to connect the two hubs would i connect the uplink on one to a normal port on another, do i need a crossover cable, is this the wrong way to do it?
 


<< would i connect the uplink on one to a normal port on another, do i need a crossover cable, is this the wrong way to do it? >>


yes this is the correct way to do it and no you dont use a crossover cable. however you might want to look into getting a four port router so that you can share your cable connection to all four computers and not have to use the hubs
