I have the netgear gigabit GS105 - 5 port switch for this exact purpose.
networks together 2 pcs, a mac mini and my synology NAS, with the 5th port
is plugged directly into my router, so everything has a network connection
through the LAN. it's like $30. Completely, stupidly simple, plug and play,
worked first time I plugged it in, haven't thought about it since. If I
need more ports I simply remove what's not being used and it
auto-configures. Works great.
