Switches or hubs?

by whatme? . Updated 24 years, 4 months ago

This may sound simple or stupid but… I have a network in a building w/3 floors. Each floor has approx 50 users. Server is W2k. I installed a home switch, ran cat5 to each floor where I installed a hub for each. All floors are on same subnet. Problem is… Each floor can’t see the other floors. Is this a problem in switches? The on;y way around my solution was to install a “hub” at the server to service the other hubs. I know this isn’t practable but it works. The switch didn’t. How can I correct this problem and renistall my switch?
Thanks
Merv
