Do I understand you correctly? - you are proposing to wire all the sockets
in 'series' - ie daisy-chained on one long cable ??
Never tried it - but other replies suggest that it will physically work!
However, 8-port switches are dirt cheap, and as I understand it have the
advantage of avoiding 'collisions' which could considerably slow down your
LAN.
Or have I got completely the wrong end of the stick here??
