Router, more pcs need connected

[Faithful666]

i got 5 computers, and the router has 4 ports, anything i can do to "share" a connection or something for the extra computer? i have a switch box aswell but that doesnt seem to be helping.

ideas?

Get a 5-port (or 8-port :)) Gigabit switch, connect all PC's to the switch and the switch to 1 of the LAN ports on the router. A Gigabit switch allows you to share files among PC's at Gigabit :) speeds if you have Gigabit NIC on each system (Gigabit switches and add-on Gigabit NIC's are cheap these days).
