How do you set up a star topology with 5 computers without NIC's?

Without NICs? A computer needs some sort of connection to the network! I don't think you can do it.
The usual NIC is an Ethernet card or a wireless network card; neither of which should be very expensive. In the center of the star topology is either a hub or a switch. Better use a switch, if possible - it is more efficient.

You are asked to upgrade a bus topology LAN at a friend's house to a star topology LAN your friend wants to connect three computers do not contain wireless NICs at minimum what devic?
A hub
What topology did Mainframe computers first use?
Mainframe computers first used star topology
In Ecommerce four computers and a switch then witch topology is used?
Star Topology
The arrangement of the computers in a network is called the?
Without knowing a bit more about the context, probably "topology".Common network topologies are ring, star, bus and mesh.
If you have four computers and a switch you want to make a network of these computers using switch which networking topology you will use?
Star Topology
What is the arrangement of computer on the network?
The arrangement of computers on a network is called topology. It describes how the individual computers are connected to each other and to the network.examples of topology are Star topology, ring topology, mesh topology, bus topology.
Ring topology and star topology?
There are number of LAN technologies and each technology is classified into a category according to its topology , two such topologies are star and ring topology. In star topology ,The hub accepts data from a sender and delivers it to receiver, there is no security in star topology . In Ring topology Computers are connected in a circle- the first computer is cabled with the second computer.
Which topology is the most commonly used server network topology?
The most common LAN topology is that of a "star." In a star topology, each computer, or "node", is connected to a central hub. This is more reliable than a more classical "ring" topology, because a node failing will not bring down the entire network. A bus topology is arguably more reliable, but has poorer performance.
What are the best network topology for 50 computers?
Mesh Topology... though if you use a beefy-enough machine in the middle, a Star topology might work.
What is the physical topology when all the computers in a network connect to a central point?
Star
What is the difference between mathematical topology and star topology?
A star topology is a type of mathematical topology. Mathematical topology is essentially geometry without concern for distance. It asks questions such as for a given shape, (in the abstract sense) "what connects to what," "is it possible to reach point x from point y without passing through point z," and "are these two points connected at all?" A star topology is a type of topology where all the points (for example, computers in a computer network) are connected to a central point, but not directly to each other. Go to the following address to see several types of network topologies, including a star topology. http://scilnet.fortlewis.edu/tech/Network/Topologies.htm
What is the system that connects computers to one central controlling computer called?
It is a Client/Server system. The most common topology for this is a Star topology.
