Re: Networking via router?

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.
