Connecting to a network

[Tony Williams]

I have a home network run from a Linksys ADSL Router. It has four wired
connections but I have a need for a 5th and possibly a sixth. I know I could
connect them with wireless but the VPN we use to connect to a remote server
doesn't like wireless technology. What do I have to buy to expand the number
of hard wired connections? Can I add an extra hub of some sort to the
existing ADSL Router?
Thanks
Tony

Run out to Wal-Mart, CompUSA, BestBuy, etc and purchase a 5 or 8 port
switch. Connect one port on the switch to the router. Here are some examples
from Wal-Mart...

Thanks Al I'm in the UK and don't have a Wal-Mart but I get the idea and
know what to buy now. Thanks again.
