alright so here's the problem with my little network at home. I've got 3 computers, a playstation 2, and a x-box that want to use the dsl connection we have in the house. I'm using a Linksys (BEFSR41) dsl router 4 port. I found that one of the ports on the router doesn't work so I bought a Gigafast 5 port switch to get it so all the computers and game consoles can be online at the same time.
Now I assume all I had to do was hookup the switch to one of the working router ports and then plug 1 computer, the ps2, and x-box on the switch leaving the other two computers attached to the router. Does this sound right? Becuase it doesn't seem to be working niether the computer or any of the consoles are online. Any help would be greatly apprecieated.
