Hello,
I've just installed Windows 7 on one of my computers (Computer 1) and am attempting to split my connection via an Ethernet Switch between Computer 1 and my old computer, which is running Windows XP (Computer 2).
The switch is plugged into the modem, powered on, all cables are connected and recognized, and Computer 2 has internet access. Computer 1, however, is unable to get past the Unidentified Network stage of connecting. Computer 1 is able to access the internet if plugged directly in to the modem. I've tried resetting the modem, but after that my tech-savvy fails to meet the challenge.
