Re: How to connect two computers to one cable modem via D-Link switch



If your ISP allows two IP connections at one time the switch should work. If
your ISP does not allow two IP connections simultaneously then you will need
a router.

A router combines the computers internal network IPs into one IP address to
the ISP and then sorts out responses, reconfiguring IP addresses.

A switch will only direct responses from your ISP to the correct computer
connection but not change IP addresses.
