No. Hubs require no special software to work.<br />
<br />
You have, of course, to have the essential networking software correctly installed and configured: services, clients, protocols, drivers. None of them are, however, hub-specific.<br />

I've got a decrepeater with 16 t-base-10 sockets. dec say it's a hub and uses 2 twisted pair ethernet connections. as well as the pinouts - which is another ongoing question - would anybody tell me if i need extra software to use the hub on a win95 network?<br />

do i need extra software to use a decrepeater hub?

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.

Hardware

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.
