yes you are right if you are using PCCW because they are using PPPoE for authentication which will only assign 1 ip address to you but we are now using Hutchison which just use DHCP to assign an ip address for us which means a router/gateway/server is not needed just use a hub or switch can work normally you will get a real ip address from DHCP for each workstation I have tested and introduced my friends to use this method for Hutchison in different building no matter ADSL or 10MB boardband are also works.
Oh yes I forget we are using Hutchison boardband which is "FREE" for RC resident. The central server in RC may be free for us to use as many IP address as we like.
Normally in a pay cable boardband system the DHCP server is suppose assign only ONE IP address for each household. You want more one than one computer to use internet then you pay more for second IP address.
Our system may be free for us to use anythings (Hub Switch Router) that can plug in the cable. hehe
If Hutchison will give a real ip address from DHCP for each workstation then using a hub off course can connect to boardband. Then our network within RC will be too simple sometimes naive. Hub is the most basic networking device. If there is one Hacker within our community then he can... :em07:
yes for security issue I recommend zone alarm which is a free personal firewall which can protect you.
but actually i tried to share a files on this type of network within 1 home its not work... so I think Hutchison has block some traffic like boardcast or some port like windows file shareing..

yes I agree this method but instead of using connector which will disabled the port in the small room I suggest to use a RJ45 socket and parellel the cable so that we can use internet everywhere. I m not very sure this method is works any comments qualcomm ??
i c... VLAN...... but how to implement that ? I don't really understand how it works on our building.... use VLAN on each port of the switch then mirror all this VLAN port to a port that connect a router to route us to internet ? :?:
