Hello,
i have never been good at understanding network setups. I’m not looking to connect to the internet or PCs, all I want is to connect the SGIs via Ethernet cable so that I can share files and the O2 CD rom on other sgis. will The steps below work?
1. As a static IP address for each machine
2. Connect each machine to a network switch (4 port)
3. Not sure if it matters weather I use Cat 5, Cat 6, Cat7?.?
4. should I use a 4 port router or switch?
any comments are appreciated.. thanks
