2nd ethernet port

I have a ReadyNas pro 6 and was wondering if I can use the second ethernet port as a switch. Router -> readynas -> pc. Where the pc can just access the internet as normal. I looked in the settings and the only way I may be able to do this is with the vlan option but don't really want that. I would want that pc to talk to the rest of the network.

Thanks

You should buy a switch. You can get good NetGear ones pretty cheaply.

LOL, good point, just thought maybe the Pro could do it. You know why buy a switch when it can do what i want.
