By mistake I bought an Ethernet 8 port Ethernet switch on an on-line auction, I was looking for a router and got very confused with terminology. Anyway - is it possible to network two PCs using this switch, to share dial up modem and printer. I thought the answer was yes, and tried MCC > Network sharing, but obviously need to do something more, maybe in second box which is mepis.
Thanks

PS been looking at router prices and look quite a lot to me, in my situation at present. The terms router, hub, and switch are very confusing to me , and difficult to distinguish in on-line descriptions.
