Dennis; How does your cable modem connect to your switch? Doesn't it have a connection for a standard network cable? Or does it use a USB connector? You should have received a gray/silver cable with 2 network connectors on it (obviously there would be one at each end!). If not, it's probably a USB connector cable. See if you can send me the brand and model of your cable modem. I'll see what I can do to help.
What I meant by #1 is that you should be connecting your cable modem to the firewall/router! My Bad! The cable modem should have a normal network port on it, or it should have a special cable to connect from the cable modem to your firewall/router PC, either using a standard network port or a USB port on the firewall/router box. In other words, cable modem to firewall/router, firewall/router to switch, switch to PC's in your network. That's the way your wiring should be connected. I apologize for the confusion.
