All you need for a wired conncetion is one ethernet cable going to wherever
your router is. You should have at least one PC directly wired to the router
(for security reasons).
I personally use an intelligent 16 port switch (which is more secure than a
mindless hub) to connect up to 15 pcs at once (if need be) and have disabled
wireless - I have less faith in wireless security than I do in security on a
hard-wired LAN.
