Yes, use a hub. Then when Caladan, Ix, Draconus_IV, Salusa_Secundus, |
| 19 |
and finally Tleiax enter your network, they too can be connected to |
| 20 |
the Spacing Guild as well. ; ) |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Then, if you want various transient satellites (wireless laptops, |
| 23 |
perhaps) to use wireless, then I'd have a cable from the hub to a |
| 24 |
wireless hub. Try to keep that wireless access point secured though. |
| 25 |
It might be better to keep a firewall in between the wireless access |
| 26 |
point and the rest of your network just to keep things secure. A |
| 27 |
hardware firewall, of course. I don't place much faith in software |
| 28 |
ones. But that's your decision. I just said how I'd build a network |
| 29 |
given that objective of setup. |

Hope you find something that works! |
