I am just not getting this. OK I set the router up with the disc it came with on PC #! N/P.
I got some cat5e cable for the other PC.

I plug it in turn on PC#2 and says network cable not plugged in?

Do I need to change a setting to allow a second LAN port on the router to work?

I have read about 20 pages here,Been to linksys site and read the user guide twice all to no avail.

Would doing a reset then hooking up both PC's to the router and rerun the setup CD do the trick? Or do I simply need to change a setting on the router to allow a second LAN port to be used? right now it is set at DHCP with wireless disabled..

Thanks in advance
