how exactly are you connecting to the internet? so you use a switch to connect your computer to one that is connected directly to the internet ?
Well...we have a netopia modem and the switch is connected to it ....Because we also use a broadband phone we had to replace the router with a switch
What service are you using for your phone? When I had Vonage, I was able to use it through my router just fine. You could choose to put it in front or behind the router... I chose behind since I didn't want their crappy little hub controlling my network.Quote:

It doesnt look like Im able to forward the ports when using a switch....Im using Telio service for broadband phone.
But is it possible to connect the router to the switch?...or am I being retarded?
