could you not put the router first then the switch /hub.

I have 2 belkin routers and the second one in the line is set to run as a hub and also boost the range of the wirless network. I needed to use CAT5 to my PC as wireless wasnt to good to my PC.

That setup should work fine...not sure why you would want to do that though :P

let's just say the router governs some dodge traffic from a specific source, and one of the computers doesn't need to be connected to that for various reasons.

but thanks for the replies.
