You are correct about needing a crossover cable to connect the computers to each other correctly. That will not be the case if you use the switch. There is really nothing to translate to Linux. Computer 1: IP Address 192.168.0.100 Netmask 255.255.255.0 Computer 2: IP Address 192.168.0.101 Netmask 255.255.255.0 Gateway 192.168.0.100 Nameserver 192.168.1.1 I assume you know how to configure Computer 1 to share its internet connection. How difficult would it be to run one cable to the router? It seems like that might be the easiest solution. Have fun! Chris<br><b>References : </b><br> Hi Riven,

Computer 1: IP Address 192.168.0.100
Netmask 255.255.255.0

Computer 2: IP Address 192.168.0.101
Netmask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.0.100
Nameserver 192.168.1.1

I assume you know how to configure Computer 1 to share its internet connection.

How difficult would it be to run one cable to the router? It seems like that might be the easiest solution.

Have fun!
Chris

If you run the wizard, it will set up dhcp on the host as well. I would ask though.. the wireless router has to be connected to something... why not put that connection to the 8 port switch and hang the wireless off the switch. Then you can wire several more computers... and wired is faster than wireless, especially if you're going to be sharing files or printers....<br><b>References : </b><br> You can do it by sharing the internet connection on the computer.
