Connecting 5 computers to a 4 port hub

[George]

Hiya,

We have a 4 port router and now have 5 computers. Instead of having to keep swapping connections around, how do I connect all 5 computers to the internet? What equipment do i need to extend the "hubbage"

Cheers

buy a 4 port (or similar) 100MBit switch and connect it to the router, usually a straight-through cable will suffice as the ports will be auto-switching on newer equipment. Its a simple connect it together job.
