Router and Switch Help

I'm trying to share a cable modem connection with 5 computers on a 4-port router. One computer has to be in the router's DMZ, and the other 4 computers has to be firewalled. I also have a 5-port fast ethernet switch. Whats the best way to hook the computers up?

Just run one of the ports off the router to the switch and then a couple of the computers to the switch.

That is the best way. Put all but the DMZ computer onto the switch and plug the switch into the router.
