The next step for me is to set a HAN ( a LAN for my home ) to hook up my P2/266 and my laptop so that I can share files and browse the net on all of them etc. If someone has set this up I would like suggestions on harware hubs, Network cards etc. to set this up . I am not looking to spend a lot of money on it so a minimalist config would be ideal. Would appreciate any advice on this setup. Regards Ash ;)
