Khalid, With Ethernet Switches becoming as cheap as they are you should consider a switch if you can afford it. 8 10 base-t + 2 100 base tx port switches are $350 Asante has an 8 port 10/100 switch now for under $500. you can also do as you say and buy a 10 Base-T Hub and a 100 Base-Tx hub and connect them with a two port 10/100 bridge. Some one (dlink or linksys) at compusa the other day for $120. I think the multiport switches offer a better value for nominal price difference.... Sean
