I have a router (w/ built in wireless) and two 3Com unmanaged switches. I'm trying to setup a network so me and 4 other friends. How would I go about setting that up (as in: where would I hook wires up and what settings would I have to change)? Would I need static IPs or would the router do that?
Ex. of what I was thinking:
Modem<--->(Router)<-----cable------>(Switch)<-------PC Game Server
\-----PC01
\----PC02 etc.
Router (I think this is the model I have): http://www.zyxel.com/us/en/products_services/nbg_418n.shtml?t=p
Switch (selling one of the two): http://lansing.craigslist.org/sys/4543245562.html
Thanks!
