What doe a hub do?
In computing an ethernet (network) hub is a device which usually looks like a small box with ethernet jacks on it which allows you to connect different devices together and allow them to act as one network segment. These days hubs are less common being replaced by routers or network switches instead.
Can an Ethernet hub be used to hook up multiple Ethernet devices at one time?
An Ethernet Hub allows the user to hook up to four ports at one time. The Hub will allow you to connect multiple devices and allow them to act as one.
Can you connect two Ethernet switches to a third Ethernet switch?
Yes, more than one Ethernet switch be connected to a network. Typically care must be taken as not to create loops in one's network.
Is one where each node has its own cabled link to a central Point called a hub?
A hub, a switch, a router. They are all what you have described. A hub is a central point of a computer network. A switch is a series of ethernet ports with no wireless functionality. A router can have both wireless and wired capabilities, but can also have a modem built in.
Where to find a 50ft Ethernet network cable for xbox?
Any ethernet cable will work. I suggest monoprice.com for cheap cables, but retailers like Bestbuy, or newegg.com might have one.
What common network can communicate even if they have different network topologies?
It depends; if topplogy is intended in terms of Local Area Network (LAN), most Ethernet LANs use the same topology which is hub and spoke, where Ethernet switch(es) act as the hub and the spokes are hosts (PC's, servers, printers, IP phones, etc.). If topology is meant in terms of different technologies, e.g. Interconnecting an Ethernet network to a SONET or MPLS network, then a router is required between the two. Another possibility is transporting for instance Ethernet traffic over TDM (SONET or T1/T3) circuits. In such case the Ethernet frames are encapsulated at one end of the circuit using protocols such as GFP, PPP OR HDLC and traffic is de-encapsulated at the other end. Specialized bridges are capable of that, without requiring any IP routing.
Will I be able to connect more than one network hub to my computer?
A network hub is designed to connect multiple computers,so only one is neccessary.
If you add a fifth PC to your network how do you connect it to a Four port Network hub?

Must you use a hub to connect three PCs and two PCs explain?
I have a PC, laptop and xbox running and i have a modem and router downstairs with a wire leading upstairs then a netgear high speed hub splitting my connection 3 ways to my PC etc , but i don't think u need a hub if your router has multiple ethernet slots.
How do you set up Ethernet?
First, make sure it is actually an Ethernet cord, since Phone Lines and Ethernet cords are commonly confused with each other. But if you know its an Ethernet cord, look for a fairly large port that looks rectangular, Google a picture of an Ethernet port and look for it on the back of your computer. Once you find this port on the back of your computer, plug one side of the cord into it, then the other side into your modem or router.
How do you connect one Mac wirelessly to another Mac?
If they both have wireless (Airport) cards, just set up one to accept wireless connections in the network and sharing control panels. do this by: 1. with one of the macs, create a network. 2. with the other, search for wireless networks and find the one that was created. 3. chose that network to connect the two macs
