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?

please help.

me encanta la vida, pero es muy mala

You will want to use a crossover cable and just plug any port on the one into any port on the other.

Many hubs and switches have a special port just for uplinks. They may have a switch that might show an X or no X sign. Many switches and hubs can autonegotiate for the wrong cable. Otherwise you would need a crossover cable. Some odd devices may not work correctly.

I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you peanut.
