HI,
I have a Network of group of computers all connected to one switch and every computer on the network can see the other with no problem.(without internet connection)
and other group of PC's connected together by HUB also without internet connection.
how can i connect the hub with the switch so the two groups can see each other?
is it just to link the switch and the hub with cable or what?
