Chances are that either your switch or router will have an uplink port, or one that can be set to work as an uplink. If you have an uplink port, then you can connect them together using a straight cable. Note that you need to use the uplink port on either the switch OR the router, not both.

If you don't have an uplink port, then you'll need a crossover cable.
