I can get this one for $20, it seems like a good hub for a great price http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/Sea...84225&CatId=201 I'm looking for somthing that'll be easy to use for playing a 4-system link for Halo. I'd like to keep the price limit under $30 ... what would you reccommend, if the above one isn't what you would want? http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/cat...c.asp?CatId=201 This post has been edited by Matt174e: Aug 20 2004, 08:04 AM

I have two NIC cards right now, with a crossover-cable going from the second one to the xbox. Can I use that Crossover cable to go from the second NIC card to the hub, and use four crossover cables to go from the hub to four xbox's? ______________________________PC ______________________________\| Modem---direct port cable---> NIC1 -- NIC2 ---Crossover cable--- HUB _____________________________________Crossover Cables (4) \| \| \| \| ______________________________________________________Xbox’s (4) This post has been edited by Matt174e: Aug 20 2004, 07:51 PM

As for the cables, NONE of them should be crossover, all normal patch cables from here on in. EDIT: Sorry, just checked again and it does have 5, therefore you can plug everything in to it.

EDIT: I have had no problems with Tigerdirect, and I bought 2 whole computers (in parts) from them. Even had to return a CPU fan and had no problems at all.
