[ale] network question

[tdarley at net-hopper.com (Trey Darley)]

Ok. So are you talking about a HUB (where all traffic will be carried
across all copper without respect to subnetting) or a SWITCH(which is
absolutely a different beast)? If it is the latter case, then Mel
Burslan's response is correct, except that where he has 'hub' labeled on
the diagram, it should say 'switch'. If you have a hub, then you can
either add static network routes to all of your hosts or else dual-home
your NICs. The summation is that you only need a router with a switched
network.
