Gigabit Network question
Hello, I have a network, 3 computers, a server and 2 workstations. The topology is pretty much Star and it uses a Server/Client approach!

Hello,
I have a network, 3 computers, a server and 2 workstations.
The topology is pretty much Star and it uses a Server/Client approach!
If I change the HUB(10/100) to a Gigabit HUB and change the cards just from the server and one workstation, will the gigabit ethernet still work? I mean at full speed, even though one of the stations still have the onld 10/100 NIC?
The computers with the 1000 NIC will be affected if they are communicating just between them?
Or will the workstation with the 10/100 NIC slow down the whole network?
Thanksss

hubs are slower anyway for multiple comps... i'd suggest a switch, or a router if you plan on making the network much larger to eliminate too much useless usage of bandwidth...
halz said it well though i cant do any better
