Re: Quick Networking Question
a switch would allow for future expansion, and doesn't mean the pc with two NICs has to be permanently on.

it'll probably cost a tenner more than the other option, but it's probably the better one.

note that if you use the uplink port you connect the router to the switch with an ordinary cable, but you need a crossover cable if you use a standard port.
