Hi there,
I've set up a 10/100 home network to connect 5 computers to a DSL router. I'm using a Linksys 5 port 10/100 switch to do this. Unfortunately, the uplink and the last port won't work at the same time. Is there a cheap solution to this problem? I'm thinking of getting a cheap 10 mbit hub and uplinking it to the switch, then uplinking the switch to the router. Will this comprise bandwidth for the two computers hooked into the hub? I don't know what to do and my roommate is very upset that he bought the cable only to find out it won't work. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
