>According to Linksys, you can not use the uplink port on
the "switch" box. You need to connect the cable from the
first (router) box to port #4 on the box acting as the
switch, not the uplink port. (I found this information
buried on their web site.) Their tech support could not
give me this information when I called them; they told me
I had to use the uplink port to connect the two boxes
together. I moved the cable to port # 4 and can now see
all the computers on the network regardless of which box
they are connected to.
