You didn't bridge that modem, did you? You should have no problem inserting the switch. Check the IP of the Working computer. It should be a 192.168.1.X. If it is, there is no reason for the problem you're having. | |

1 edit | said by csconner5  :Recently we had an electrical storm that knocked out the original DSL modem. Verizon replaced with a Westell 6100F DSL modem/router. I have been successful in getting one directly connected “Ethernet” computer to connect to internet but when I attempt to connect the Linksys ezxs55w 5 port switch, I am not successful. DSL modem has no data light .... Once you are able to get online with one PC directly connected to the 6100F, then adding a switch is all you should need to do to expand your network.
But the fact that the data light does not come on when the switch is attached indicates a problem with either the ethernet cable used or the switch itself - perhaps the lightning took it out as well.

My 55s have an uplink port. Are you sure you are bringing the inbound from the 6100 to the correct port. | |
