Sorry to keep asking minute questions.  Seems like getting any of these 
details wrong results in a 'broken' network with no way (in my meager 
skillset) to diagnose what's wrong.

    * If I have a switch with an 'Uplink' port, and I'm hooking it to
      one of the numbered port on my router, I'd use a crossover?
    * What about my original question : If I have add a second router,
      but I really only want it to function as a switch, will that work?

Any website/book recommendations for someone who wants to learn more 
about setting up networks?

thanks again,
alex
