Sweet, thanks guys....I made a crossover cable trying to connect his ibm hub to the netgear en524 hub and it did not work....but then plugging the dsl router into the netgear and the using a patch cable connecting my laptop to the same netgear hub and I was not able to access the internet either...so maybe the hub was bad....
If I daisy chain the two switches, am I limiting the bandwith of the second switch since it is only using one port of the first switch?? If so, will it be noticeable? or do the two switches allow the full bandwidth across both switches..
I think I will end up with the two cisco switches as he only has cat5 and cat5e cable on the network
