Okay, here's my QUESTION. I have a wireless router with four network ports on the back. I only use the wireless for a lap top and the DESKTOP machines are hardwired in. Now I recently added two computers to my collection but I only have four ports on the router. I have an old netgear four port hub that I was hoping might work with the router to connect all six computers to the network.

Instead of me writing a confusing book here I put together a simple diagram of what I was thinking of doing. If someone could have a look and let me know if it would work or not I'd appreciate it. http://www.terminus.co.nr/~osiris/misc/network.txt

Also there is a switch on the hub that says "normal" or "UPLINK", what should that be set on and what do those settings actually mean?

Thanks for any help Ok the Uplink port First.

On old Hubs they could not Switch The DATA Cables automaticly. when you use a Hub All Data that Comes in is sent out on ALL the Send ports, But if you connect to hub's Together you'll have the Send WIRES connected i mean by that is one hub will send data , on the Wire the other hub is also sending on.. that wont work .

So they made the uplink switch that swaps over the Send wire and Receive wire. so that you can Connect 2 hubs.

New Switches Auto Swap , so you wont really have to Worry about that.

As for how you want to Set up the Network, it should work Perfic ^.^What make and model router do you have? Here's some info from D-Link: Can I connect a hub or switch to my D-Link router to add more computers?Okay, thanks much for the info guys. I hooked it up and it seems to be working just fine
