@Hom3r ... wrong way around, right idea, want to leave theone connectted while removing the others.

@Jon T ... yes that's it, sometimes i find i dont want/need the internet connection shared out to the other pc's (sometimes i have found a differences in the speed of the connection depending if i'm running through my current router or not, also there are times when i dont want the other pc's screwing with something i'm uploading... it already takes long enough on VM's very poor uplaod speeds)
plus.... i just saw the specs on the second one i linked "RJ45, Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, 8P8C switch box, 8 pole, 2 way" ... doh!

Thanks for the reply, i think i'll go for one of those, it's not overly expensive, and if it saves me phone calls at work trying to diagose goofed up cable connections after someones connected the modem to a LAN port when reconnecting the network to the internet!! then it's probably worth it !
