Hi, I recently had to leave my home for about a week and in the process made the mistake of unplugging all the cables to my Linksys router and Netsurf switch. Does anyone have any advice on how I can find out which cables go where again? There are just two computers networked in my home, but still, I've experimented repeatedly with various combinations and I can't figure out how to get my internet/network back. Even the Linksys manual wasn't much help, it seemed to contradict itself. Any pointers? - JS

Note the cable between router and hub should be a cross-over cable or use the uplink button on the linksys router. Usually the lights on the router will tell you the right combination.
