Sure you can connect the hubs. If you connect uplink to uplink, it may not
work. many hubs have a switch to make the uplink port as standard by
reversing the wires.

that all the ethernet ports are used, I find that I need, at least, a couple
more ports from time to time....and I do want to add a network accessable
disk drive. But I don't want to go out and buy ANOTHER router...(I already
have a couple of the unpowered "dumb" hubs and a new US Robotics 4 port
router that I am not currently using).... Can I use one of those hubs and
connect the UPLINKS on each hub and get a few more ports or should I bite
the bullet and buy a new router/hub with more ports?
