I have already encountered this exact situation.
I connected a hub to the uplink port of my router.

.Political correctness is based on the principle that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
waste of money if you have an uplink port. we've got 5 things connected to a 4 port hub and there's no problemsOriginally Posted by Virtualbody1234

the uplink port is usually just one of the router ports rewired a different way so that you can plug a switch or another device is with a patch cord. its not a seperate port.
guys: thanks for all the help. u guys are great.
so if i understood correctly, i should be able to just add a simple hub off one of the four router ports. i do hope it will be as simple as plug and play....(my router doesn't have an uplink port )
here another question:
if i have a static ip address from my internet provider, in the above configuration (5 pcs: three connected directly to the router, and two via the hub to the router) will the ip addresses at each of the pcs always be static? even after power cycles on the pcs, hub and router?
sorry if that sounds like totally n00b question! i'm still learning networking
thanks!

Your Internet ip will be static as its set by the ISP, so adding a hub won't change anything.
Network ip can be set to be static or dynamic on each pc...
If the above makes no sense to you it might be easier to just say why you want the ip address to be static.
easier to just buy a switch imoOriginally Posted by Chewie UK
`anyone from Argentina on this board?
I need your help and if you can help me pM me
understood. (i think! )
so when u refer to 'network ip', you're talking about the ip address at each pc that the "outside world" (aka internet) would use to access that pc, correct?
in that case, yes they should all be static. how do i go about making that setting?
thanks!
