    need help for setting a network using dlink 5 port switch.


    hi guys,
    i need help trying to make a network with 2 PCs using a dlink 5 port switch.
    one of the PC is having a WiFi card as well. i want to create a wired network between PCs and using a straight through cable. even though i disable the WiFi card and assign the static IPs to both system but not able to ping between them. and i want to share internet on other PC through first PC WiFi card.
    and both the PCs are on same work group.

    am i missing something or doing wrong something and drivers for the cards are installed on both the pc.

    any help appreciated.

    Are you using a router anywhere? If so why not just use dhcp.

    Provide ipconfig /all command outputs.

    Open start menu
    In seach type cmd, press enter
    In command prompt type ipconfig /all

    Do that on each pc.

Greetings, I have Win7 and 8. I am looking for a good 4 port KVM switch that does not have a time lag (latency?). VGA monitors I guess are okay. I have Dual VGA monitors but don't want a KVM that controls two monitors and 4 ports due to price. Any recommendations are appreciated. Thank...
