    Internet / Network Config help

     
    Just wanted a little clarification to ensure that my hardware config will work.

    Let me set the scene.

    I have a 16 port Dlink ethernet switch (with a separate uplink port).
    I am about to sign up to ADSL 2 here in Australia.
    I want to be able to use the internet on PCs connected to all 16 ports + a few wireless laptops.

    I was thinking about the D-link DSL-G604T http://www.dlink.com.au/Products.asp...&Sub2=2&PID=50
    This will plug into the phone line for the ADSL via phone cable and crossover to my existing DLINK switch to connect up all my PCs.

    Will this work

    Thanks in advance

    You wont need the cross over cable from the 16 port to the router since it has an uplink port.

    But yah pretty much that will all work.

    "pretty much" is not filling me with confidence. Is there something else I should be doing.

    PS. So just straight through?
