LAN Help

audirob

A friend wants to hook up his pc to a network installed in his work.
There is a computer next to his that is connected to a LAN socket.
I know you cant buy a splitter (like a telephone splitter) but am i right in thinking you can use a hub, if so can somebody point me in the right direction.
ie (product code on ebuyer)

Thank you in advance...

you need a switch or a hub, do the employer approve of this idea?

cant you unplug the network cable and plug the laptop in to it?

Only small company, and yes boss does approve he just wont pay for it,

No as it is another desktop.. Wish it was that easy

Something like this should do the job.

If it's for work purposes why won't the boss pay for it? If it's not, it wouldn't be allowed on the network if I ran it!
