ok , i'll try to explain this the best i can without going into alot of technical ----.

basically all you really need is a 5 port hub/switch, then your ---- will work.

but if you don;t have that , well its kinda tricky.


basically only one device is getting a network address unless you make a rollover cable and change your routing table, its really not all that hard to set up, as long as you understand how to subnet an ip address.
but ---- if i'm going to explain that, heres a link to s subnet calculator and a site that explains how it works dudeness.

maybe its the router, and mine is especially easy to set up, but the one on the internet is set as a gateway with dhcp enabled. it is pluged into a lan port of another router that ios set as a router with dhcp disabled. works like a gem and 2 wireless routers gives great signal throughout my entire house

you need someting like that, and if you want to go wireless, you need a wireless access point. wich is basicly a wireless hub/switch. routers arnt made to hook up to other routers.

You dont run switches right after the modem because when you do that its like making the whole intenret part of your home network, but your setup should be like




Modem > Router > computer
> computer
> computer
> switch >computer
>comptuer
>computer

I forgot that some routers you can set into access point mode so they act like a switch. If you know how to configure your router check that out.
