Hi yall, first I guess I should explain, I'm pretty good with FreeBSD but... don't hardly know anything about networking... I'm on an @home (cable modem) connection with 3 computers hooked up to a hub. All of the 3 computers have completely different I.P. addresses that don't even go through the same gateway. (all static) I was thinking I should buy a switch or something, because sometimes, for some reason, my connection between my computers slows down to over 50% packet loss. Sometimes rebooting all 3 of the machines can fix the problem, sometimes it doesn't.... I was thinking that it must be a problem of the gateways speaking to eachother, and that there must be a way to keep my computers on my LAN talking to eachother on the LAN instead of through @home... My main issue is getting my UNIX server talking to my workstation... I would be happy if I could just get that going... Is there some kind of route add that I need to do? And if so, how does that work and what does it do? ... or should I go out and buy a switch?
