Ethernet Switch

[rustolemite]

Okay so real DUMB question here, right now I have a 4 port router but I need 2 more ethernet connections and instead of adding a switch that will mean another box and another power supply on my a/v rack I was wondering is there a pci card or some other way to get my PC to act as my ethernet switch?

Thanks

there are 4 port NICs and you might be able to configure the computer to provide internet to what ever device you connect to it but those NICs start at around $300+

get the switch and you will have less headaches
