Networking question

I have a wired home network, with the following configuration:
-Fiber into my house, connected to:
-Fiber converter, connected to:
-4-port D-link router, connected to:
-16-port D-link switch, sending RJ-45 cable to the data ports located throughout my house

Here's my query:
I want to connect two devices to a single RJ-45 port in both my family room and my master bedroom (so that I can have both my Sony PS2 w/network adapter and a Tivo plugged into each data port at the same time). I want to buy two switches, plug one into the data port in my master bedroom and the other into the data port in my family room, and then plug the RJ-45 cable from each device into the switches. The configuration I will end up having is:
-Fiber into my house, connected to:
-Fiber converter, connected to:
-4-port D-link router, connected to:
-16-port D-link switch, sending RJ-45 cable to the data ports located throughout my house, two of which will have 4-port switches installed in them

Am I allowed to daisy-chain switches like this? Will this adversely impact my networking capabilities? Thanks.

Edit: Also, since I have a d-link router and d-link 16-port switch, should I stick with d-link switches for my bedroom and family room? Thanks again.

 

Shouldn't be an issue as long as the switches have an uplink port. Some switches have auto-crossover detection, so that any port can be used to 'uplink'.

It doesn't matter if you use a DLink or Linksys !!

This should work fine.

 

Thanks neilz/Wes. I think I have a handle on it now.
