   I have 3 computers hooked to my modem through a router. I have been totally unsuccessful in networking the 3 computers with each other as I would especially like to share the printer among the three.

   I hope the subject of a future article will be one the covers this subject.

   I have Windows Vista on two of the computers and Windows XP on the third.

   Thanks for the comprehensive articles on a variety of subjects I’m finding on this site!

     You can’t really increase the performance of a hub. You should use a switch instead for better performance.
