I have set up a 2 computer home network. Both computers are connected to my Linksys switch, the switch is connected to the cable modem. I know I should have a router but this can still work, problem is, I cant get it to work. It will only allow one computer to be on the internet at a time, and when the one computer that is working on the internet is showing the modem as its IP address starting with 66.***.XX.XX. When one computer shows that IP the other shows 162.***.XX.XX and that is an IP ***igned by windows which is also wrong. I'm new to the networking stuff, can someone tell me step by step what I need to do to set this up. One is 98, the other is XP.
