I'm asking this for a friend as I don't know much about switches/routers. He bought a switch off ebaythis one to be exact, he bought it it thinking it was a router. He's on NTL and this is basically what he wants Modem -> Router -> PS2+Computer. I've done a bit of research and seen that normally a router goes into a switch then into whatever you want e.g a computer. Now his is question : Can he have it like this ; Modem -> Switch -> PS2+Computer? Thanks in advance.

Luke.
