Hello all,

I am about to attempt to network four computers using a hub.

I have a couple of ethernet cables which are cross over that I am
currently using to link two computers to share files and the internet
access.

I bought a  15 metre ethernet cable through mail order and when it
arrived realised it is straight through cable. It says on the packaging
it is designed to connect a computer to a hub.

My question is, can I use the mix of ethernet cables I already own to
join the computers to the hub and the hub to the modem? or should I buy
new ones so they all match?

The hub is a Syn Optics Lattis Hub.

The modem is a Dynalink 100+.

The computers to be connected are running WinXP Pro and Win98SE.

Thank you

Anne Smith
