Hey guys

I have a Netgear Ethernet Switch (FS105) to connect 4 pcs here at home. The main need from all pc's is the internet which until now I've always connected one pc to act as a gateway. This PC is dying a slow death from constantly being on so I was wondering if there was a way of plugging the modem straight into the switch directly? If so would I connect it to the port thats seperated from the other 4? How would I then go about setting it up on each computer?

Cheers!

Chris

as tolien said.
you can plug a switch in to the router if you require more pcs to be connected or if you dont want multiple cables running up the stairs as we did at uni.
