When posting a question / problem, it is very nice to include specific information. Such as the model and manufacturer of the router. It helps one visualize what you may have.

01. Purchase an Ethernet switch (such as the 'Linksys' 'EtherFast® 10/100 5-port Auto-Sensing Switch'.) and two Ethernet cables.
02. Remove one of the PCs from the router.
03. Connect the Ethernet switch to the now free router port, with the new Ethernet cable.
04. Connect the PC, whose Ethernet cable was removed from the router in Step 02. above, into the switch.
05. Remove the crossover cable from Mac and PC.
06. Connect the Mac to the switch, with the second new Ethernet cable.
