You don't even need the hubs for this sort of thing.
I would like to use a hub so i can hide it and so if i get some more of my macs on the network i can just add them in
I thought the G3s and up had autosensing ports, so either a straight or crossover cable would work.
as for my G3 and G4 i don't know if they do or don't, ill see if I can find out
You need a hub or a cross-over cable rather than a standard drop-cable.
Never suggest to people unfamiliar with basic home networking to get a hub. Always switch because they do not know any better and may well go find a real hub instead of switch.
I am familiar with basic home networking, but the networking that I have done is under OS X 10.5.8, and i have done networking in the graphic arts department that i am in at school. as for if I have a hub or a switch i know that i have a hub because: A) it was used in our shop as a hub for our computers in our department, B) it says hub right on the front.
