The switch is fine for networking, but it doesn't do the same job as a
router for network connections. To set it up for a network, simply
connect the switch to your external connection, modem, I presume, and
each computer to a port on the switch. Then run the wizard in MCC to
sort out addressing. It's much the same as setting up a network in
windows.
There is also an Internet Connection Sharing wizard, which should sort
out that problem for you. I haven't used that, though, so I can't
help much.

Right - thanks - that's where I am connected wrongly. Need a cable from
modem to switch.
Hmm - it's not quite right somehow ... There's only one RJ45 port on PC,
and none on modem.
