Several posts up...

Routers do packet routing. they may even sub in there own mac address when connecting networks. In technical terms they parse iso layer 3 information.

Switchs track/remember down which port a MAC address is located so as to cut down on traffic going out the wrong port. In technical terms they maintain a iso layer 2 information table.

Hubs act as multiport repeaters. Whatever comes in on any port is amplified and sent down all other ports. Very noise on a network. In technical terms this and a repeater are iso layer 1 devices.

Repeaters (almost never used anymore) amplify the signal coming in one port and send it out the other. (note it has only two ports.)

I have Windows XP, i'm running a linksys router with the pc's behind it. I get this error when I start the boot5zones.bat.

WorldServer connect: Connecting to the server failed. Error: 10061
InitWorldServer failed

I changed my lan ip(192.168.1.7) to 127.0.0.1 in every spot that was suggested earlier. Trying to do it lan cause my friend and my brother can't play if I host it on the net. Any help would be appriciated. Oh and ports 5999, 7990-7995 are open.
