Comment:
If anyone has the time or knowledge to help me I would GREATLY appreciate it.
My setup:
A linksys (BEFSR41) router with 3 connected pc's and a uplink to a Linksys 5-port switch with 3 connected pc's
My Problem:
The computers on the router recieve the internet and can ping each other. The computers off the switch do not recieve the internet and cannot ping each other.
Please help I am lost and have no clue why this is not working.

You need to have the cable from the router plugged into the uplink port and then plugged into any available port on the switch or visa versa, unless you use a crossover cable.
The port next to the uplink port cannot be used if the uplink port is in use. You can only use one or the other.
Hope this helps
