Get your self a router ( WGR614L), then put a NETGEAR FVS318, PROSAFE™ VPN FIREWALL 8 W/8 PORT 10/100 SWITCH.
Your Router will facilitate the INTERNET connection and your Netgear FVS318 will provide interface for all your laptops, desktops, firewall, VPN configuration, etc. You can hang your data drive on it also. Network printers (Ink jets) are also cheap now and it would be good to get one also.. You can Make a kit by getting a Med Pelican, set up all your items in it (Cables, router, Switch, printer, power-strip, etc) and it only takes a few minutes when you configure the kit.
just my 2 cents
