Thanks for your reply.
One thing: If the P133 will be the server with 2 nics then I can only connect 2 PCs, but I need to connect 3.
The P133 doesn't belong to them. There are PIII800 with Win98SE, PIII1000 with WinME and Duron700 with Win98SE machines to be networked, and the P133 just the role of a hub or switch.

BTW, I also have WinNT 4.0 and if it's better then I can put NT on the P133.
How will it work with NT ?
