Hey everyone.... haven't been here in a while hehe. Anyways I have a bit of a problem regarding my home network, well actually my room network.
First... my goal: I have an xbox, and am acquiring 3 more "broken" xboxes for $20 each, but none of them are actually broken they just can't play games. Anyways, I'm actually going to just use the 4 xboxes, load them up with gentoo, and fold with F@H and other things.
Ok so my problem: I currently have 2 routers set up in my room, a wired 4 port linksys router, and a wrt54g with dd-wrt. I have it wired so the cable modem goes to the wrt, and the wrt routes to the other linksys. I have 2 PC and a laptop using up 3 ports of the wrt, and the 4th port of course goes to the other linksys. The other linksys, a ps3, ps2, and an xbox right now take up 3 ports. Ok so I have 1 port free on that linksys, which I can use for the network of folding xboxes.
I don't have another switch or home router, but I do have a 4 port hub. If I hooked up all the xboxes to the hub, and the hub to the 4th port, what will happen? Will only 1 xbox be able to download work units and upload results, or is there some way I can make this work using a hub? Will I get really weird errors/results with F@H?
