521842 2007-02-02 18:50:00 Well yes... foe Internet Connection Sharing to work you do... you didn't state that PC #2 was going through PC #1 to get the net...

And why don't you just connect PC #2 to the switch?

Because the dsl300 doesn't have a routing function.

521844 2007-02-04 01:11:00 Because the dsl300 doesn't have a routing function. Then what is the point in having the switch in there? why not go straight to the modem? would seem more logical... :illogical The_End_Of_Reality (334)
