no, i am plugging my ADSL Modem/Router into the switch, the switch is 10/100mbps, so is the router/modem. I have a static ip set on my computer as 10.0.0.2 and my other computer is 10.0.0.3, the other computer currently has no operating system because i just formatted it because i bought a new motherboard. But i need to know how to get the internet working on this computer. its not just the internet i wish to share, i wish to share files also.
thank you for your help so far
PS. The router/modem is a D-Link DSL 502T, and the switch is an ST LA auto MDI/MDIX 5 port 10/100mbps n-way switch.
