Basically I don't have a ton of knowledge yet on setting up different networking items.. But I do need some help trying to set up my network here at my home.
Basically I have three items:
- Linksys Router
- Linksys Switch
- Comcast Modem
In my house, here is what I have as far as PC's.
- HP Laptop
- Desktop PC in a bedroom w/ wireless card
- Desktop PC in my room w/ onboard (ethernet cable)
- HTPC that is going to go wireless here soon
So, All I basically want to do is set it up so that I have the wireless working and that I have my PC running directly through the switch. Nothing else. I do not want to go through the router as I hate them and they are a pain for me to deal with on my desktop.
Here is basically what it looks like:
All I want to do really is switch the orange and have it coming out of the switch to my PC. I thought that this wouldn't work and that I would need another IP address since Comcast only provides me with one. So I call them and ask for one and the lady tells me that it should work with one. Clearly it is not and I'm not quite sure what I am doing wrong.
If anyone could help me out with this.. I would appreciate it.
I definitely need a networking class ASAP and excuse my paint drawing.
