        I have an old actiontech modem/router. I want to run from my
        modem to the UPS to it and from there to the two computers (I
        just figured this out ) so the NIC cards of the two computers
        are protected. Anyways, the network icon indicates there is
        connection and the info window that tells you if you are
        connected or disconnected says that I'm connected but:

         $ ping google.com <http://google.com>
         ping: unknown host google.com <http://google.com>

        Could someone tell me how to fix this?
