I was going through an online examy/trainingy thing this evening and was
presented with this..

In a star topology, what happens when a workstation loses its physical
connection to another device?
A) The ring is broken, so no devices can communicate
B) Only that workstation loses its ability to communicate
C) That workstation and the device it's connected to lose communication
with the rest of the network.
D) No devices can communicate because there are now two unterminated
network segments


I got it wrong with an answer of "C".. Can anyone explain to me why this
might be ??

PRN--PC----LAN----PC--PRN

PRN--PC-  -LAN----PC--PRN

umm.. the printer and pc both loose network !!

halp !! (or should I log a bug report ?)
