There's 4 ports on the back of the router for cable connections. There's 8 contacts in the ports and 8 wires in the cable. a long time ago I heard you can run two computers off of one cable. Is this true? and how is it done...I'm thinking of a spliter like the one you use for a phone (just that small connector).

Usually you would use one cable for each port on the router but you can use a hub to connect several devices to one port on the router. You would have one cable connecting the router to the hub and have several devices connecting to the hub.

Hmmm, maybe, but routers work off IP addresses. Me thinks you'd have to leave IP assignments on auto and that will induce glitches and hangs. Ethernet is not telephone if that's what you mean.
