Connecting 2 PCs through a Switch, not directly

[ramblr2006]

And make sure you set the default gateway on the 2 PCs to the LAN IP of the modem. As for the DNS settings, my BSNL's modem has a DNS forwarder too, the same LAN IP is your DNS server. Else use the DNS server IPs given by the ISP.

Tried it. Doesnt work. Only one of the 2 PCs can connect to internet at a time. DHCP is on in the PCs and 220BX1 is set to assign DHCP.. Fiddling with IP adress settings also doesnt solve the prob. Manual IPs/Auto IPs.. nothing...
