How do you connect both networked computers to the internet?

Answer

Well, from what you've said it sounds like you've tried replacing everything but the switch itself. From what I am hearing it sounds like the switch may be having a conflict between any two givin NICs. And as for plugging the modem directly into computer #2, did you use a cross-over cable or just a straight cat5? Cause if you are connecting anything (two computers, one computer to a modem etc.)without going through a switch or a router, you must use cross-over cable or it's not going to work. I don't know if anything of this will help you out but i hope so. Good luck.
