D-Link DGS-2208 User Manual 18 Section 4 - Troubleshooting Troubleshooting 1. Why can´t I share my Internet connection to multiple computers when using my D-Link DGS-2208 switch?If you are connecting directly to a Cable or DSL modem, you will need a router to "share" your Internet connection or a computer using ICS (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. Does the DGS-2208 switch have an uplink port?The DGS-2208 has Auto-MDI ports which automatically sense the type of cable being used (e. g. Straight-through or Crossover) and adjust themselves accordingly to pass data over the network. What is the maximum length of Category 3, 4 or 5 twisted pair cable that can be used between the DGS-2208 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.
