The cheap network cards up here are all twisted pair, so in order to set up a small local network, you would need a hub between them. The BNC (?) cards are no longer sold (cheap). But you might want to consider some the other solutions with external drives and the like ... this is likely to be a problem that will crop up from time to time. Happy continuation of your New Year ...
