I have a high speed DSL connection to internet. I have used cisco switch to access internet on LAN. Now there is only one port left but I want to give other 4 computers access to the internet which are 25mtrs. away. So I connected another switch to that empty port through straight cable. Means, I use 25mtrs. cable and connected the one end to the cisco switch port and other end to the prolink switch. and it didn't work. There is no uplink port either. Can u tell me how to make other computers in my LAN to access the net.

Check your switch out on the net and get it's specs. In some cases switches and hubs that don't have a separate WAN port (uplink port) use port 1 as either an uplink or regular port.

Hello fren,
My switch works well when I connect it with a shorter length cable. But when I use 25 mtr. cable it won't.
