| ruri's Full Review: NetGear SB104 Network Starter Kit Networking Hub |
I bought this network kit to play multiplayer games (i.e. quake, half-life, etc.). It is one of the best decisions I've ever made. The cards were simple to install, and the guy i talked on the phone when something went wrong was friendly and exceedingly helpful (most of you will agree that in general, tech support dudes are useless). The cards don't even need to both run under the same OS: i have an NT system and a win98 system, and they work fine.
It is a wonderful way to network in a small environment. Easy for even a novice to install and configure. From box to boot, including installing the card in two machines, setting up the hub and configuring the software, was less than 90 minutes. Beyond file sharing, it has eliminated the need for a second printer and allows tape backups to be run from a single tape drive on my faster machine.
These are great value and I recommend that anyone who wants to set up a home ethernet buy them.
