Apologies to those who responded earlier but i think i misled you, what i was trying to ascertain was would my computer run slower with regards to use of data located on a server, if it was connected to a 4 port hub with other pc's and then that hub was then connected to the server (whereas before my computer was connected directly to the network point) will this have an impact on data trnsfer etc, i have been assured by our network administrator that it will still be as quick as before, even though the one line is now shared between 3 of us??
Thanks to those who responded before
and hope the same people can help again
Thank You
