How do you network three computers without a hub?

The only possible solution is setting up ad hoc wireless network between these 3 computers, but you will need 3 wireless adapters.

Answer

Without a hub, you will have to use crossover cables (not standard or 'patch' cables).

Answer

It is very possible and it is facilitated if you have windows XP on the muiltihomed computer, basicaly bridge the two network conections (done auto in winxp) otherwise if the multihome computer doesnt have win xp you have two create two different networks with different ip address then then bind both NIC to both networks, thats each NIC should have two IP addresses. More simply use the center computer as the gate way under the default gateway. REMEMBER ALL THE CABLES INVOLVED ARE CROSSLINKED.

Answer

If the computers all have NIC cards then you would probably be better off by using a switch or a router even a wireless router they don't cost more than 40 or 60 dollars. You don't want to use a Hub they are passe.(No Good Any More)
