Hi Guys,
I'm trying to expand my LAN of 4 PC'c.
My setup is -- 4 port Linksys router(wired) with the 4 PC's. 3 XP machines and 1 2000.
I would like to add 2 more PC's.
Do I have to get another router or hub. Using Wired LAN is my first choice.

I just got a 5 port linksys switch for $10 after rebate. You hook it up to router then you have 8. One on the router is used for the switch. It's easy just hook up the wires and it works. Uplink port on switch goes to regular port on router. Do not hook uplink port to uplink port, that is if you have an uplink port on both.
