The same sticks collaborate locally at the GPA.<div><br></div><div>Note that not seeing anyone in the neighborhood, and seeing people but not having all shared activities work all the time are probably two different bugs.

I can go buy the 5 and 8 port models tonight to try. If one of these works, then we'll at least have a basis for moving forward in the classroom. So far, I don't think we have any confirmed working devices.<br><br>

</div>You should be able to use any "switch" with as many ports as you have<br>
computers. For example:<br>
5 ports:<br>
<a href="http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0257750" target="_blank">http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0257750</a><br>
8 ports:<br>
<a href="http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0294506" target="_blank">http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0294506</a><br>
16 ports:<br>
<a href="http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0282106" target="_blank">http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0282106</a><br>
<br>
(The Microcenter in Cambridge happens to be my usual place to buy this<br>
sort of electronics.)<br>
<br>
All you should need is a switch like that, and one standard ethernet cable<br>
for each computer. If you have a very large number of machines, you can<br>
start connecting multiple switches together, but this sounds unlikely to<br>
be necessary for your purposes.<br>
