RE: Router or Switch - yesgrey - 28-Sep-2015 I got a PCI ethernet card for free and decided to give it a try without a router again, and this time it worked fine. So, on my PC now I have two ethernet ports, one connected to the internet and with internet connection sharing enabled, and the other ethernet port is where I have Dialog connected. In addition to that, I also had to install a free DHCP server software, which is assigning the IP addresses to all equipment connected to the second ethernet port. I used thisthis one, which is very easy to setup and works great. Since my computer is my audio/video center, this solution of having it also as the router is perfect for me, and less boxes around the house... Once again, thank you all for the help. I'm a software developer, but my knowledge about all this network stuff is pretty basic...
