Ok can you guys stop talking about the router.. I know if I had a router, everything would be easy to solve, but unforunately I DONT, so I gotta work with what I got.. So please stop saying "router blah blah blah" cause if I had one, I wouldn't come here for help.

So Confused.. What you are saying is use 1 crossover cable to directly connect the Host and the Client and have a second NIC in the host computer for the DSL Modem since the Switch is just routing traffic to proper PC by using the IP address? Right?
