Yes, a hub will work at different speeds, there are such things as 10/100 hubs. However, what hubs will not do is run at full duplex. Hubs are striclty half duplex. -Jeremy On Monday 19 November 2001 05:00, you wrote: > What are you connecting them with? You are usually restricted by the > hub/switch that you use.
