I knew that you could plug a hub into a router, and that the router would assign each of the comps plugged into the hub a 192.xxx... private IP. My only question too anyone is, how many IP's will the router support? I mean to be technical you could have an endless number of computers plugged into one of those standard 4 port routers. I mean say to plug a hub into each of the 4 router ports, and each hub has say 8 ports. And then you plug 7 computers plus another 8 port hub into the first 8 port hub, and so on. With that you could end up with SOOO many computers. So my question is, how many will the one router support. Lets just say, incase it helps, that it is a Linksys 4 port DSL/Cable modem Router. What do you think?
