I am setting up a small, 4 user network. I am connecting each user to a hub. I have a laser printer with a NIC. There is not a server. Can I connect the printer directly to the hub to allow shared use, or must it be connected to one of the PC’s and shared to the rest of the network?
Also, how reliable are RJ-45 couplers?
Can a modem in just one of the computers be shared by this type of topology?
