routers

I have like, 2 (4) person hubs, for lan parties. I have 5 people that will be at my house. Is it possible to hook two of them up together?

I just got my very first router today to accomodate the laptop I just bought today as well. Only thing is that I am really frustrated with allowing ports. Is there a way to allow ALL ports? Im tired of setting ports for EVERYTHING I want to run (Ex. Teamspeak, UltraVNC, ALL GAMES, etc...)...
