Firstly,
evening all
Right, down to business.
I need to connect 8 computers in a LAN and provide a connection to the Internet for each.
This is for a school so no money is to be made and i need to do it as cheap as possible.
I have the 8 computers in open plan office style, do i.....?
Have them all connected to a router? Would this provide a network LAN aswell as sharing interent connection?
Would a hub or switch do and have a 'gateway'??
Allcomputers use 10/100 and have win'98,
and a Firewall must be buitl into this somewhere.
Also i'm in the UK so if anyone could point me in the right direction as to where to by the stuff for cheap it would most helpfull.
Thanks for your time and input,
