A simple 4-5 port switch (switch is better than hub) should run you $20-$30 US. One with a router in it that will conect your home net to DSL or cable modem is going to be more like $40. With what I know the cost of crossover cables are at most retailers, your cheapest option is the hardware. All the crossing over will happen in the switch. You don't say where you are located, but a great place in the US for this kind of stuff is newegg.com. Great service and very reasonable prices. -- /g
