Ok.... I don't remember what movie I saw this in, but it's driving me wonkers....

All I remember about the scene, was something about 'networking' the computers to calculate something faster. The set was very 'Battlestar Galactica', the computer panel lifted upwards (kinda like a grill lid), and the connected the different computers together with what looked to be huge token ring like connectors. While the computer was doing it's thing there was concern over the enemy/aliens/etc.... breaking through the firewalls of the now fully intergrated computer network.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? Where is this from?

Many thanks in advance.
 
That WAS an episode of Battlestar Galactica (the new series)... season 2 perhaps?

Galactica was accidentally separated from the fleet and needed to calculate jump coordinates back- it would take hours if they didn't network the computers together for faster calculation. They couldn't last that long in battle against a cylon base ship, so they risked enabling networked communications.

Update: Yep, it was season 2 episode 1 - "Scattered"

If you haven't watched the new BSG you're missing something special! Start with the minseries DVD (which explains why networking was disabled in the first place)
