    Cabling - The best route to take....

    There are three offices at work, each containing 5-6 stand alone PC's. I want to create a client/server network - the server will be located in a fourth office. As far as I can tell, there are two ways I could run the cabling in this system... (1) Run a cable from every individual computer to...

    Maximum length of cable

    I am planning to create a client/server network at work (currently all the PC's are stand-alone). I would like to create a 100BaseT network, but am a bit unsure what the recommended maximum distance of cat5 cabling is between each of the clients and the hub? I have read differing opinions...
