(Internet Connection Sharing) or Proxy. Switches and hubs do not allow you to share a single IP address to multiple computers.
Another alternative is to contact your ISP and purchase extra IP addresses for each additional computer.
2. Does the DGS-1008G switch have an uplink port?
The DGS-1008G has Auto-MDI ports which automatically sense the type of cable being used (e.g. Crossover or Straight-through) and adjust
themselves accordingly to pass data over the network.
3. What is the maximum length of Category 3, 4 or 5 twisted pair cable that can be used between the DGS-1008G and other devices such
as routers, switches, computers, etc.?
The maximum length of Category 3, 4 or 5 twisted pair cable that can be used between computers and other devices on a network is 100
metersorabout328feet.Keepinmindthatthisisatheoreticallimit.Usually,youwillwanttokeepthedistancebetweendeviceswell
