I posted this as a reply to another thread before I realised what I was doing...
Just got a 5port linksys switch yesterday to replace my 5 port D-Link hub for the occasional small LAN party.
I'm currently using my PC as a multihome w/ winproxy and crossover for just me and the wife - or hub when I have friends over.
I'm considering getting a router/switch also to share my cable connection (not sure which brand yet) .
Will I want to go from uplink to uplink from the router to switch OR uplink to port ... reg. or crossover cable ?
Same with the hub if I need to use it for extra ports??
I found a good deal on cables and want to go ahead and get them before the deal ends.
