Let me get this straight, Both PC's connect to the Switch, where does you modem connect to? The switch is what I'm thinking. OK, now for information on how the modem is connected, and what type of modem is being used, If you have an uplink port, usually the last one located on the Switch, you'll need to plug the router/modem into it, as you have said that's what your modem is? If you don't have an uplink port then you require a crossover cable, I'm certain you still need one for auto-negotiable switches too, as I believe those only work for networked PCs not router/modems. You'll need to sort the IP addresses out too, they are conflicting because they are the same as one another, first determine your router's IP You'd then have a setup like Router/Modem/Gateway 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0 XP Comp 192.168.1.2/255.255.255.0 Gateway:192.168.1.1 Win98 Comp 192.168.1.3/255.255.255.0 Gateway:192.168.1.1 Your router probably has or hasn't got DHCP enabled, but I still wouldn't rely on it, I prefer statically setting up networks. I'd check what network cable you purchased, make sure it wasn't crossover. |
