    Co-ax is nly really good for two to 3 pcs.
    It also can't work for full-duplex connections.
    whereas a hub can
    geta 100MBit setup straight off, and a 10MBit hub if u can'r find a cheap or second hand 100MBit hub. 100MBit are ahndy for bringing to lan events.
    U could try messing around with DCHP and stufffor TCP/IP stuff, but I prefer to do it manually, through the Network NeighBouthodd properties. Also, install File and Printer Sharing if u intend to swap any files accross it. Install windows Logon too. And always logon to it for lan games.
