I was wondering if anyone knew how to link 2 switches on one network, keeping all computers able to browse the network and one of those to supply an internet connection (I already have the connection shared I am just trying to add another switch)

Or if one of the switches has a crossover port (most do) then plug a normal patch cable between the two (with one end in a crossover port)
