Router died can I use a switch?
Posté par hardman34, le Tuesday April 22, 2008 02:41:44 PMHello,
My modems output is through an RJ45 lan cable.
I'm just wondering if I can configure all 4 of my computers to access each other and the internet through the switch?
I had a quick try but failed.
I know I need to give each computer it's own ip but it's the default gateway I think is where I go wrong?
If I put only 1 computer on the switch and let it obtain ip automattically it connects to the internet.
Thanks!

Hello
Your switch doesn't provide NAT which the router did. Unless you have an IP (provided by your ISP) for each client PC, you won't be able to have them all access the internet setup just that way. What you can do is hook one PC to the internet, put a second NIC in it and connect that to your LAN. Then setup ICS on that "host" PC to provide the NAT for your LAN. However, the cost of a SOHO router isn't that much and it would be well worth your time to just buy a replacement. A SOHO router also comes with a firewall which means not having to setup firewalls on each individual PC. |
