Okay one more question... I had my PC connected directly from the Cable modem, just before I got a switch, then when I bought the switch and hooked it up to my Mac and re-routed the Ethernet cable to the PC via the Switch, all Internet connections to the PC stoppped. Could this be a hardware or software problem. I'm running 98 on the PC and MAcOS 9.1 on my Mac. I doubt that this could be an OS conflict, because I tried even connecting it directly back to my pC and the damn thing still doesn't want to work! Help help.... Thanks you networking masters!!!!

Okay what the hell is the difference between a Switch and a router. I need to connect them to share a cable modem connection. One line that runs to my laptop runs great, but the second line seems to not work. Any one with any help HELPS!!!! Jeff
