Alright I'm kind of out of the loop on this sort of thing so if this is a completely stupid question go easy on me...And I did try to search for the answer already and think I found it but I'm not sure...dont really understand a lot of what I read on here lol, anyway to the question. Whats the difference between a "switch" and a Network "Hub". I am trying to network my computer and laptop together so that they will run a game( Command&Conquer The first Decade) and I've done it before but that was years ago( on starcraft) and somehow the hub got thrown away, so a couple days ago I went to BestBuy and baught a switch cause I thought it seemed like the same thing as a hub and even looked identicle...now the networking doesnt seem to be working and I'm not sure if maybe the laptop and or the computer don't have networking cards or if its just the "switch" that I had baught...and up till a couple days ago I had never heard of a "switch"....anyway hope yall can help I would appreciate it very much.
Thnkx in advance
