Hi ocd_csv, I've come to the conclusion that when it comes to home networking, it's easier to just go wireless. I have a wireless modem/router in my house with 6 devices connected to the network. Only one PC and the printer is "physically" connected to the router. Everything else, including the PS2 are connect wirelessly. When the printer dies, I'll probably replace it with one of the new wireless enabled printers.
Honestly, wireless hardware is so cheap now and it much easier than dragging cables through your roof and walls. I will conceed though that it requires a little now setup to secure it.
