Hi,
I find myself with the need to connect 5 ethernet devices to 4 available
ports.
I'm running an ADSL modem/router with a 192.168.2.x network (for

Hi -
Shimi's solution will work - use a cross-over cable, though, in order to
connect the switches together.
Hypothetically, you should be able to connect multiple computers to the same

It would. However, I only have a router and it seems like a bit of a
waste to buy a 4/8/16 port switch to accommodate only one more device.

hmm. Is there an easy way to tell a crossover cable from a straight one?
