[plug] Any used a ThinLan hub before ?

[Ari Finander]

I'd bet the problem is with the win9x options and setup...it's a pain in the 
arse for networking.  In fact, I've never encountered anyone who had it go 
smoothly the first time....or even the second time.

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 ???

James
