  • How to configure a network using a switch?

    I recently bought a 8 port switch to use a broadband internet connection between 2 computers. I have configured the settings so that the computers have 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3 as their IP addresses. The default gateway was set to 192.168.1.1 (the IP address of my modem).

    Though internet is working fine on both computers, I am not able to ping either computer from the other one (using ping 192.168.1.2)..

    Please help me out so that both internet works and the 2 computers can be a part of a network.
