Ok - so I'm wanting to use a Dl-604 (D-Link) as a switch for a LAN party I'm going to be having tomorrow. I know that this is generally a bad idea so don't give me crap about that  . Does anyone know how I can do it? Thanks, Zozio

You sure about that r3sil3? What if he is plugging this into another router...? I have always wondered about that because of conflicting DHCP IP addresses.

I think you have to plug your outgoing net from the hub / first router into port 1 (or 2 or 3 or 4) of the 'switch' router then use ports 2 3 4 as the outputs.
Something like this, I think:
Someone at Futureshop told me to do this once, I don't know if they were BSing or knew what they were actually talking about.

Thanks Rico . Now that I see that diagram I seem to vaguely remember hearing something like that at sometime. I'll put it to the test tomorrow. Can anyone confirm or deny this works?

LOL..... Anyways. Internet --->Router(Port 4 will forward it)--->Router (in) You have to setup the router in the config to use different IP schemes.

I'm not sure exactl what the setup or wording is for the netgear but you get the idea. And just go from the linksys into one of the lan ports on the router(not the WAN). you should be golden.

looks like i wasnt needed on this one.. heh this gives me an idea tho. in the basement the xbox is hardwired all the way to the router upstairs but plan on setting up an HTPC so was going to re-use the xbox wireless thingie (even tho it sometimes hiccups) and use the existing wire for the HTPC. however, if i can re-use the other router that i have laying around doing nothing, i would be able to have both the xbox and htpc hardwired... nice
