-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Fast Ethernet Switch Connection Question (Gman)

Hi Dan, What you're describing should be as simple as 'plug n go'. The switch will take whatever IP is given to it by your router and then intelligently share it among all systems connected to it. The switch may or may not have a dedicated or switchable LAN/WAN port. If it does, be sure to switch it over to LAM and connect the router directly to that port. If no such option exists, plugging the router into the last port (#8) should provide signal to all other ports and make it easy to remember 'what is connected where'. Peace, ...
