Home Server Help (I'm a noob lol)
Because the home network is in another another room on another floor and the house isn't wired for ethernet and probably won't ever be.
1. I have nothing ATM for all intents and purposes
2. IDK ~5 max? Maximum of two servers and 4 users but probably only one server
2. None need to be connected to the internet while using the server. For all intents and purposes assuming I have no internet and never intend on getting any or connecting any of the computers to the internet.
Just get a 8 port switch and connect them all.
Something like this:
Its cheap and does the work.
You might need to either setup a DHCP server on the server or assign all the IPs to the machines manually.
If multiple people are gonna access the server at the same time and you need more speed than 100MB/s (gigabit connection), you can get a dual nic and team them so you have 2Gbits of connection. I know that they switch supports Link Aggregation, I just dont know if it works 100% to double the bandwidth. I havent got to Link Aggregation stuff on my house yet
Hope it helps.
