How should I set this up?

[Kantanshi]

I have a network set up at home, but I am unsure if there is a better/right way to do it.
Here's the basics:
3 computers upstairs, 2 in the "office" 1st floor (central location), 2 more on 1st floor approx 100' (cable-wise) away from office. I am going to be adding a DSL modem also in the next couple days. I am using 3 Netgear FS608 Fast Ethernet Switches (FES) (with "Auto-uplink": http://www.netgear.com/products/details/FS608.asp?view=), 1 at each remote location. The DSL requires a router, for which I have a Linksys BEFSR41 DSL/Cable Router. The 3 computers upstairs are all patched into a FES with one line run down to the 1st floor "office" FES. The 2 computers away from the office are connected into another of the FES's with one line running to the office FES. As for the router, I think I need to connect the uplink to one of the office switch ports and the DSL to the WAN port.

I think this will work, but am unsure if all the computers will be able to access the DSL connection in this configuration.

Thanks for any help,
Jeremy

I'm not 100% sure but I think the Uplink port is for adding another router to the router. You should be able to connect the 3 switches to the regular ports on the router to give the DSL connection to all the computers connected to the switches.

Correct, just plug the switches into the "regular" ports on the router (acutally switch ports as well).
