Guys,

I have a BT Total Broadband home hub.

It only has two LAN ports. I have one PC (gaming) wired to the hub and BT Vision using the 2nd port.

However, I also want to wire my 2nd PC (media) and my PS3 too as streaming wirelessly is no good.

Given that I want 4 wired connections but only have two ports available, is there anyway I can do this?

If of any use, the IP35 Pro board on the gaming PC has a second LAN. Could I use this for the PS3 or Media PC and share the connection?

Thanks for any help.

Cheers Wesley. Sorry, total noob in this area.

When you say "switch", does that mean I can have all four connections running simultaniously or only one? If so, is bandwidth restricted?

Ta.
 
LOL /thread means thread closed/locked as i gave you a perfect answer ;)

yep all 4 ports will simultaniously into 1 port of your BT broadband router, 100mb switch will be fine :)
