Problem networking with Virgin Media

[Mr-JosE]

Hi everyone

I have just got Virgin Media broadband, and it came with a webstar modem. It successfully connected with a laptop over ethernet, but when i tried connecting it up to my Netgear switch, with 2 computers plugged in, only one seems to want to connnect. I have read on their website that its meant for only 1 pc to connect at a time, but surely you must be able to get it working on a network.

Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated!

Ok cool! Thankyou! Ill give that a try.

Is it a simple case of plugging the coaxial cable into the router, or via the modem? The modem didn't need any configuring on my behalf, just worked from the get go, would the router need much configuring?
