| I have been given a big old router D-Link DSH-32.
|
| I have a couple of computers I want to run off of it from a network
| cable.
|
| What I dont understand is that when I put the cable connected to the
| network into one of the 32 ports and then put one of my computers into
| the uplink port (there are two ports The computer network works eg my
| computer is connected to the network.)
|
| When I do the reverse it does not work at all. Idont understand how I
| can plug more computers into this router and make them connect up.
|
| I thought that I would be able to plug one active network cable into
| the router and then it would give me 32 more ports to plug computers
| into.

Router ?

It is either a hub or an Ethernet switch. I couldn't find a manual for this device but what
I could find says it supports N-Way negotiation so I'll assume it is an E-Switch.

You may need a cross-over cable.

Between the router and this Ethernet switch.

Between whatever multi-port device nad this 32 port device if the 32 port device does not
have an explicit UpLink port or a Cross-Over switch.
