A good Local Area Network involves more than simply connecting a few systems through a hub, and hoping for the best. Consideration of the structure of the network is important, particularly if a server is involved. It's almost certain that anyone who has worked in a corporate environment has heard the call over the broadcast system "Would everyone please log off, we need to re-boot the server". The consequential interruption in workflow is expensive and unsettling. We recently visited a corporation where an inspection of their logs revealed a loss of $250,000 in a year caused by down time.
