Hello, I'm trying to create a local area network so that when I connect to my UNIX machines, I connect to them through the local area network instead of having to go through the internet... (mostly because sometimes I have trouble connecting to my machines through the regular internet... not sure why, but they do use different gateways so, I figure that sometimes they may have trouble communicating with eachother) I am not quite sure on how to go about doing this. I am reading up on networking right now, and I'm thinking that I may be able to setup a local area network I.P. address on each system that I could access it with... someone has also told me that I could use a switch? ... I am not quite sure how either one would work... If anyone could give me some pointers I would appreciate it greatly.
