was at a rummage sale a while back and picked up some of these 3com 24-port switches for about a buck a piece....they are only 10mb but they work fantasticly....i want to share inernet connection over them....was at a lan party recently and they used the same thing and the guy told me just to run the inernet connection over a crossover into the 1st port on the hub....then it will automaticly be shared....is that how...cause some other people are saying to just bring the internet in on the uplink (either port 1 or 24 - not sure) and think it will be automaticly shared....

what is it ?

Ok, I haven't used a 24-port yet, but here's how it works on my other 4- and 8-ports. You hook the Internet line into the router (whether it's a normal phone line for dial-ups, or a RJ-ended cable for DSL, etc.). From the router, you hook another cable to the first port of the switch. Now your switch supposedly has access to the Internet. So now, for each computer in your network, you hook one cable into an empty port of your switch.

And that's it for me. Try it. I think it's the same for all switches. Good luck! :mellow:

If you go to it and see the FIGURE-2 in it, you will find it a little bit different than your and my setup.

I hope you may resolve it.
With thanks.
