Just finished expanding my network...

Still got the same Roadrunner cable connection and Netgear 4 port router, but now I have two Zonene (el cheapo!) 8 port switches connected via 100mbps uplinks to the Netgear. The router now has it's DHCP server enabled.

One switch is in my sons room, where it's got his Celeron, a couple of Linux systems and spare ports for when his friends bring their computers over for a frag-fest.

The second switch is under my desk. Connected to it are my 1.53GHz t-bird system, my wifes work system (PIII 800), my wifes personal system (Athlon XP1600), our laptop (Toshiba Tecra 730CDT- old, slow, but works for us), and two dedicated Seti crunchers (K6-3 400 and PII 333).

The server is connected directly to the router. It's a Duron 750 with 256Mb ram and 64Gb hard drive for file and MP3 storage, Seti queue server and print server.

More Seti systems are on the way, so another switch will be hooked in soon.
