That shouldn't cause any problem, other than increasing the number of collisions on the segment of the domain that is on the hub, which slows down the network for those computers (especially if they are both being used at once). -DJ Craig

When refering to a hub or switch what is a port?
Port in hub/switch refers to the interface where you connect your computers.
How switch faster as compare to hub?
Most of the time, a switch will send information only to the destination, while a hub will send to all of its ports. That makes the hub inefficient - in a hub, only one computer can transmit at a time.Most of the time, a switch will send information only to the destination, while a hub will send to all of its ports.

Which is more efficient for networking traffic a switch or a hub Why?
A switch. Each port has a separate path to each of the other ports on the switch. On a hub, all the ports are tied together into 1 single port. Think of a switch as an 4 lane freeway with 8 entrances and exits; a hub is a one lane highway with the same 8 entrances and exits. It can pass data from only one port to another port- switch can connect 4 ports to the other 4 ports (or 8 to 8 or 16 to 16, you get the idea) A switch is quite a bit more complicated AND is generally more expensive: between 20% and 300% more than a hub with the same number of ports BUT it's very useful on a busy network (business especially.)
Which cable does a switch use to Connect to a hub?
Crossover
How can you set up two USB ports to run three devices?
Buy a USB hub and connect to one of the USB ports. This splits any one USB port into 4 or 7 ports(depending on the model of hub).
Does the Teleadapt Conference Hub have the ability to add more than 4 ports?
You can connect several of them together, to add more ports as needed.
Is it possible to link a cross-over connection to a switch or hub?
A crossover cable is used to connect a Hub or Switch to another Hub or Switch - or a PC to another PC.
What are the advantages of switch?
Switch is faster than HUB. If you are using managed switch you can create VLAN, you can secure ports and many other things.
Must you use a hub to connect 3 PC's?
A hub or switch must be used to connect 3 PCs together. Two PCs can be connected using a single crossover cable.
How many ports in hub and a switch?
I don't think it has to be anymore than 2, but it can be quite a few. The problem with a hub say for a computer like a usb hub is that each device receives less power and they are all sharing the same port, its like hooking 5 computers to one modem.
If you add a fifth PC to your network how do you connect it to a Four port Network hub?
You must daisy chain another network hub onto one of the 4 ports.
Whitch two networking are used to connect hosts to the access layer?
switch,hub.
