So, my computers are the following, currently connected with 1Gb Ethernet (Comcast 75Mb connection, with Ubiquiti Gb Ethernet router):
- Main - Hackintosh (macOS Sierra 10.12.6)
- Server Hackintosh (macOS Sierra 10.12.6)
- Server Win10 PC (latest version of Windows 10)
They're all in the same room, so cable lengths won't be an issue.
I'm interested in putting cheap 10Gb NICs into each of these computers to set up an internal network with each computer connected to each other (no router). I'm no networking genious, but am very capable in following directions in getting things done. I may be looking to change the Main PC to Linux, and at least 1 of the servers to either FreeNAS or Open Media Vault or NAS4Free.
My main question would be software-wise, once I make all of the hardware connections: How do I get each PC to see each other if they all run different OS's? Assuming I have to set up a 2nd internal 10Gb network? How would I go about doing that?
Thanks!
