NIC Cards which have a BNC and an RJ45 Jack, are meant to have you use one
or the other, not both. They wont take a signal in one, and resend it out
the other. You generally specify which type, twisted pair or thin in
software setup utility software, or some just auto-sense which you plug in
and use that I beleive.
What you need is a HUB with RJ45 ports on the front, and a BNC connector on
the back, You Terminate the Coax
to the left of Computer 1, run to computer 2, run to computer 3, run to the
back of the hub, terminate. Then you run RJ45 frmo computer 4, to an RJ45
port on the front of the HUB.
