Creating a Simple Network Connecting three or more computers PC PC PC Connecting three or more computers requires each computer to have a Network Card, such as the Belkin Desktop Network PCI Card for desktop computers, or the Belkin Notebook Network Card for notebook or laptop computers. You should also have an 10/100Base-T hub or switching hub with enough ports for the number of computers you intend to connect immediately or in the near future. Hubs and switching hubs are physically and effectively very similar; however, Belkin always recommends the use of switches when possible (such as the Belkin 5-port Network Switching Hub part number F5D5130-5, or the Belkin 8-port Network Switching Hub part number F5D5130-8). Switching hubs offer much higher performance, efficiency, and speed than standard hubs. After installing the Network Cards, connect each computer to the switching hub using an Ethernet CAT5 patch cable, such as Belkin part number: A3L850-xx-yyy-S, where "xx" denotes the length, and "yyy" denotes the color of the cable 18

Connecting three or
more computers
Connecting three or more computers requires each computer to have
a Network Card, such as the Belkin Desktop Network PCI Card for
desktop computers, or the Belkin Notebook Network Card for
notebook or laptop computers. You should also have an 10/100Base-T
hub or switching hub with enough ports for the number of computers
you intend to connect immediately or in the near future. Hubs and
switching hubs are physically and effectively very similar; however,
Belkin always recommends the use of switches when possible (such
as the Belkin 5-port Network Switching Hub part number F5D5130-5,
or the Belkin 8-port Network Switching Hub part number
F5D5130-8). Switching hubs offer much higher performance,
efficiency, and speed than standard hubs.
After installing the Network Cards, connect each computer to the
switching hub using an Ethernet CAT5 patch cable, such as Belkin
part number:
A3L850-xx-yyy-S, where "xx" denotes the length, and "yyy"
denotes the color of the cable
