Ok, you're son was completely correct and I assumed accurately on the type of device you have. You can use it to network your computers. The cable modem plugs into the WAN port. the household PCs plug into any of the 4 switch ports. Set them up to get address via DHCP. Configure them to be on the same windows workgroup network and yuo SHOULD be able to see the computers in network neighborhood (if they are setup for file and print sharing). The easiest way to test connectivity is just go to a command line and run a PING copmmand of the computer's other ip address. You should egt a response. That is how easy it will be to setup a home network. You already have all the equipment you need. You don't need IP COP. Your Gigafast has firewall software built in. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Bale" <dbale@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "PC Technical Discussion for iSeries Users" <pctech@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, October 05, 2004 2:43 PM Subject: RE: [PCTECH] Networking via router? > Thanks Adam.
