cool then would I just take say the 4th port and UN plug it plug the hub switch
into that port then the one that was in number 4 goes into the switch/hub then
all of the new ones go into that wow that is simple. what is the running prices
on hubs switches I might luck out rumor has it the hospital has decide to get
rid of there basement full of computer and computer networking equipment. so I
plan on calling Monday and find out if it is you go in find what you want and
buy or if they will do it like hey used to do it a giant garage sale. any
hints on picking one out also will it be a dead give away by saying switch on
it. I hope to pick up a server or two course it will more then likely be hard
drive free since the last ones I got from them where because of hippa.

them are all filled up. do I need to buy a router with more spots for wired in
or do I need to buy something else I have heard of people talking about hubs
and switches would that work. Not that i am planning on growing but a month ago
I never fathomed having 4 computers running on it any ideas not wanting to
invest a fortune just want a simple solution.

You don't need to buy another router. Your router is capable of
supporting up to 253 different IP addresses ( there are actually 255
addresses, 1 is reserved for the router programming and 1 is reserved
for multicasting). To add ports, you can either one or more switches or
one or more hubs.
