[plug] Any used a ThinLan hub before ?

[James Tan]

On the subject of hubs and NICs,

I just purchased a 9-port Hewlett Packard ThinLAN Plus hub for $20 at a second-hand store in freo.  The owner of the store said that it probably wouldn't need any T-pieces or terminators to work since he
was too sure.  Since I'm new to networking, I decided to pick it up and give it a go.  So far under  Win9x the two PCs which I used cannot see each other.  Haven't tried it under Linux yet. So, I'm not quite sure whether it could be the hub, the connection or the Win9x setup.

Anyone ???
