Hi !

I need some help in building a network between hundreds of computers spread across multiple buildings of my college. Yes, I'll be doing this as a part of my college project.

Please see this image, it will give you enough idea of what I'm trying to achieve. http://i.imgur.com/rOohx.png

All the computers in all buildings should be able to connect server.

Once network is up, there will be a set of services over intranet and network use will be moderate. well, say there will be an email server and a http server. My point is, I cannot afford much of performance loss.

It feels easy to connect computers inside 1 building to each other, however, I'm clueless as to how to connect all of them to server. I mean, just 1 cable won't be enough to connect 1 building to server, right ?

How should I go with it ? I am not expecting detailed configuration. Just heads up will do :)

Thanks
