mbossman2 has a point. Heck, you can probably find a cheapie 4 port hub on Ebay or something.

But I ask you... Where's the CHALLENGE in that??

Oh, anyway - I guess I didn't read correctly. I thought you only needed to connect two computers. I suppose you could put a third NIC in there but I've never used an NT or 95 box to route 3 networks (I know WinRoute will accomodate that). Although at that point, you're better off w/ a basic hub.
