[buggu]

I have a basic network setup between two computer using a cross over cable however that means i need one pc on all the time inorder for the other one to be use the internet. Is there anyway of getting round this?

I have tried using a basic belkin 4 port switch but cant seem to get it working.

Alternatively if anyone can recommend any cheap wired or wireless switches or routers worth buying. seems difficult to find good deal or reviews for cable, tend to be more for adsl.

ps: i have a surfboard sb4100 cable modem
