Can a switch connect to a router to further share internet connection?

Ask by Jack Townsend: Can a switch connect to a router to further share internet connection?
Hey, sorry if this has been asked a few times already (couldn’t quite get a clear answer from the other people’s questions), but…
I have a lot of stuff that connects to the internet via ethernet ports. I was wondering if a switch would be able to share the internet connection, as described below:
Internet -> Modem -> Wireless Router -> Switch -> Switch
We have 1 PC connected to the wireless router and several laptops sharing the wireless internet. From there we’d like to run a cable through the ceiling to the other side of the room so we can connect 2 printers and a fax machine. Then we’d like to further run a cable to the next room to connect a TV, computer, and two video game consoles. Can this be done by using 1 router and 2 switches or do I need to use 3 routers?
Thanks,
Jack

Answer by Frank
Yes, you can chain switches to your router to make everything work like you want. You don’t need to use routers because a router basically is only needed to connect two different networks together. That is why you need one between your Modem (Internet network) and your local network. and since everything on your local side of the router is using the same subnet (Ie. 192.168.1.x addresses)
Answer by Adrian
Yes, just like you show in the diagram – you can add switches as needed…. It is easier to add switches than try to configure several routers on the same network….

FAQ: Do your friends, families & coworkers share your views on the illegals; and do they do anything about it?

Ask by giantph: Do your friends, families & coworkers share your views on the illegals; and do they do anything about it?
This is a follow-up question to Raalan’s previous post. We can email, fax, and mail our representatives until we throw up but I feel that our voices aren’t being heard because there aren’t enough of us that are actually taking action. I think most people are simply sitting back, complaining, and jerking off.
Most of the people in my life are not aware of anything that’s going on. When I tell them all facts about the illegals and the consequences of the immigration bill, they are all appalled. I give them their representatives’ emails. But it ends there. It’s very frustrating.

Answer by SAM
I feel ya! Everyone that I know knos there is an issue but they do not wish to address it personally. They hope that a government leader will take care of it. Clearly that will never happen.
Answer by CRK
They don’t care. My mother used to slap us for speaking improper English. Now she speaks with southern slang and thinks Spanish is a more logical language than German or English. Why can’t we all just get along. They don’t get the whole invasion part or why people like me are displaced or why the family has fewer workers and those that are working got their jobs because they knew somebody.
Answer by Siervocal
No, not all of them share my views, but a lot of them do. I have gotten a group of people to call representatives, send petitions, and collect signatures. YES to the immigration reform bill. In March we collected 10 million signatures nationwide and sent them to the congress. Why are pro-immigration movements more successful than antis? Because we know what we are talking about. Most people against an immigration reform ignore historical and political events, they are just misguided by their sense of “justice.” ¡Si se puede! ¡Si se puede!
Answer by fran
Yes, and they call and write daily. We can do this. We ARE ‘the people’ as the Constituion states.

Is it possible to share a dsl line for multiple dial out devices using a router?
Posted by in Fax Computer on June 24, 2011
Ask by Mitch R: Is it possible to share a dsl line for multiple dial out devices using a router?
I need to use one dsl line and share it with a fax machine, a computer that uses a dial up modem, and a credit card machine that dials out, is this possible?
Featured answer:
Answer by ELfa Geek
No. The analog Fax, CCM and Dialup modem connect to your phone line just like a telephone does.
DSL is for digital data only.
Answer by Josh
sorry, but no
Answer by GGoodie ===”’
I think the cable is a HUB or Kat cable…I think.
Well you can use this cable on a DSL modem to connect different devices.
For example I have a DSL modem and with that one modem I have my living room computer with net access, my laptop, and my PS2. If you can find one those cords and a router (for the phone jack) for the different cables that you will use, you should be squared away.
Answer by Zachi
if you have a regular phone line on the same line as the DSL, then yes, you can, provided:
(1) you use the appropriate filters
(2) only one of the devices that need a phone line can use it simultaneously.
The router is irrelevant for these devices. I use the same line for DSL and regular phone with the line filters, and occasionnaly I fax on it, so I know it is possible.
Why would you want to use a dial-up modem if you have DSL anyway? set up a VPN instead.

Do a start –> run –> services.msc. Go to the Print Spooler service and make sure that it is set to Automatic and started.
Answer by r_moulton76
Yup — you need to install the drivers on your second computer. You don’t have the disks?
Answer by the man the myth the answerer
That message has nothing to do with the drivers go to start -> run-> and type in services.msc look for Print spoolers and make it start automatically and start it.
Answer by yaguru
maybe its giving the message because there is no printer attached to your computer. I think a network printer is added differently.

Answer by Sandy G
Strange symptoms. If Printer A is cabled to Computer A, you must also install Printer A on Computer B to print across the network. But that error message is more like the properties of the printer on Computer A are not marked shared.

Ask by Mr Craig: How do I have a phone and fax share one line? Either leave a message or send a fax, how do I set this up?
I now have cable tv and internet, I need to have a phone line and fax option. I am considering getting phone line through the cable company. How do I set up phone and fax on same line where an incoming caller can leave a message or send a fax?
Selected answer:
Answer by Cheeky Grasshopper
Check with your cable provider. It may offer digital phone service. Then get a fax software. Your done.
Answer by esf315
I’ve found that if you try to share one line, you either have to have the fax plugged in or the phone and you can’t do both (I unplug my phone and plug in my fax only when I need to send a fax or when I am expecting to receive one). If you want to be able to have both functions at the same time, you can either get a separate phone line for the fax or purchase a device that filters the types of calls to the appropriate machine on the same phone line. (ex: http://www.amazon.com/Command-Communications-Comswitch-3-Port-Sharing/dp/B00004Z7H5)
Answer by esrock21
get a splitter where you can plug in two itmes. one side is for the phone and second is for the fax.
