Going like a train! Now how can I extend my Speedtouch 536?

    Going like a train! Now how can I extend my Speedtouch 536?

    I was activated with Zen 8000 Lite on 3rd/4th August 2007, with the Zen-supplied Speedtouch 536, and so far the broadband connection is simply flying! I'm getting what I consider to be a fantastic speed. BT speed checker measures 6240 kbps. I'm very pleased with it.

    Now, this Speedtouch 536 gateway has only one Ethernet port. I believe I can connect a second PC if I buy a switch, e.g. D-Link DES-1008D or Linksys EZXS55W.

    Questions:

    1. Do I simply connect the Speedtouch to the switch, and the switch ports to each PC?

    2. Do I have to reconfigure the Speedtouch?

    3. Do I have to configure the PCs differently?

    4. Any other points, including recommendation as to brand of switch (D-Link etc). (I don't want to spend a lot!)

    Thanks.
