Hi, thanx for the great response. I was finally able to get one
computer hooked up to the SOHO but my ultimate goal is to connect the
SOHO to my 16port switch(SOHO has 25 license). After connecting the
SOHO, I powered off the cable modem and the SOHO. Then I turn on the
modem, then the SOHO but the port that's connected to the switch does
not enable.
