What else can I help you with?
What devices are required for networking?
At the very minimum each device must have a NIC adaptor to connect to the network. There also must be some type of media (either cable or wireless), and usually a connectivity device, such as hubs, switches, routers, etc.
Blank Are hubs that serve a group of computers that are isolated from the rest of the network or that form their own small network?
standalone hubs
Does a Network Bridge have it's own hardware firewall like a router?
Some network hubs have them installed for protection
Are there any network hubs made for apple computers?
Network hubs are platform independent. That is, they don't distinguish between Macs or PC's.
A network backbone is the WHAT that connects the hubs switches and routers on a network?
cabling
What is a network hub switch?
it is a switch in hubs
Do any network hubs allow for printer sharing?
Nearly all network hubs allow any compatible device, including printers, to be shared.
Can I combine two or more network hubs on the same network?
You simply plug the second hub into the first. Modern hubs will be just peachy in the configuration.
Do you need software to use a Network Hub?
No software is needed for network hubs.
Where can I find a magazine about network hubs and switches?
There is no magazine that is specific to network hubs and switches. However, PC Magazine is a computer magazine available on newsstands and MozillaQuest (http://mozillaquest.com/index.html) is an online magazine that may include articles and other information on network hubs and switches.
When a computer sends a frame to another computer do other computers on that network receive the frame?
That would depend on the network topology chosen and the type of network connectivity devices employed. In a properly constructed, switched and/or routed network the answer would be NO. If hubs or repeaters are used to connect devices and/or network segments, then yes. In a bus or ring topology, the answer is yes. Whether anything is done with the frame is a different matter and depends on whether you consider the network adaptor to be integral to the computer.
Do active hubs always act as repeaters in a network?
yes
