If you don't have at least two wireless adapters for your pcs, yes you have to have a network cable in order to connect two pcs.
Just connect your network switch in one of four wireless lan ports. But if you are ready to spend more money you can buy wireless cards for all your PCs in that way you are not trapped with cables.
I have a PC, laptop and xbox running and i have a modem and router downstairs with a wire leading upstairs then a netgear high speed hub splitting my connection 3 ways to my PC etc , but i don't think u need a hub if your router has multiple ethernet slots.
Im assuming you are referring to the thinking critically question of chapt 17 for A+. The answer is to try one of the nonworking PCs in a wall jack of one of the working PCs. if it works, then its the cable. Try using a patch Cable
Interconnect the two PCs with a crossover cable.
tpatch cable is also known as straight cable and mostly connected same devices or nodes. but on the other side cross cable is just different then patch and used to connect different devices. Hem Gurjar

a Crossover Cable.
A Crossover Cable is used to connect 2 PCs (when a hub or switch is not used) to make the simplest network of all. (6th Edition, Page 852)
If both PCs have ethernet cards, the best cable to use would be a crossover cable. A crossover cable is almost the same thing as a regular ethernet cable, except the wires inside the connector are reversed on one end. This reversing of the wires allows you to connect a crossover cable between two PCs without any other network equipment like a switch or a hub.
There is no way to hook a LCD to a router. The router is only made for "network" traffic. It's way different then the signals needed for the LCD. You only connect the ethernet cable from the computer to the router.
The bulk network cable is used for connecting several computer by using one cable. The cable is usually one sided in one sided and has several ends in the other, meaning one can connect one end to a router and all the other ends to different PCs.
Just connect your network switch in one of four wireless lan ports. But if you are ready to spend more money you can buy wireless cards for all your PCs in that way you are not trapped with cables.
Connecting two PCs directly using a crossover cable will enable them communicate without using any intermediate network equipment. The connection will work since a crossover cable has TX (Transmitting) and RX (Receiving) terminals that allow direct communication.
As long as the Mac in question has a wireless adapter, it should connect.

Yes you acn use a hub to connect your computers. Just connect a cat5 network cable from each of your computers to the hub. It doesn't matter which port you plug the cat5 cable into on the hub. they are all the same. Also, if you might be interested in making your own cat5 cables. I have added a link on how to do ths.
