Why do you need the switch? Why is one of the computers acting as a host computer. With a router, no switch is necessary, as a router should have 4 ethernet ports to share a single internet connection between 4 wired computers and up to 252 computers by wireless. The router is also a switch. Are you running internet connection sharing on the computer that you call the host computer to accomplish this right now? If so, get rid of the switch and get rid of internet connection sharing and run everything through the router.
thank you for the info. Im using dial up service so i think i need ics enabled. When i use the router should i or can i disable the router fiewall since i have norton & windows firewall? Its a netgear mr814v2.

In that case you will need to configure the router to run in access point mode.

Since you now have the router, I assume you know have the users manual that came with it. Read the manual. I don't have it, so I can't read it to you.
