Help Broadband Question

[love_trials]

I have a virgin broadband internet connection, i have recently brought a ethernet switch, so i can have internet on 2 computers. I have my connection going into the switch, and a ethernet cable plugged into my first pc, then internet on this one works fine. I then have another ethernet cable coming out of another port on the switch to a second pc, this comes up with you have limited or no connectivity, and i cant get online! ARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!! any ideas please? been playing for 2 days now and cant get it working! Have i done something wrong? or do i need something else or can it not be done?

Any help appreciated, thanks!

Well to break it down, sounds liek the switch is working fine and you set it up right. It's something to do with the computer.

Have you ran network setup wizard and all that?

Have you tired installing a different internet browser? If you use internet explorer try firefox and if you use firefox try IE or safari/opera. Sometimes the internet browser program retains old settings and if this is the problem installing a new piece of browsing software should let you know within a few minutes.

The limited/no connection makes it sound like this may not be the issue though. Run through all the network troubleshooting things if you havn't already, and try loggin into the router from the working pc and the non working one to see if its a problem in the settings.
