ok i was at my friends house the other week and he has three computers, the first one is up stairs and connected to a router for internet access. that makes perfect sense to me, but when we went downstairs i was extremely confused. he has a hub?( i think its a hub vs a switch) and he had one of the ports from the router upstairs plugged into his hub/switch which was then sharing internet access with his two computers downstairs. they were both on at the same time and could both access teh internet simultaneously. now im confused because i was under the impression that a hub/switch could not be used to share an internet connection. could someone please explain to me whats going on? thanks
p.s.- i think its a hub/switch it came with some xbox system-link/lan party pack so i would guess its a hub since m$ is cheap like that
