Hey guys. I'm troubleshooting for my girlfriend who can't seem to get online. She has a cable modem that doesn't appear to be the router type. That modem is connected to a 4 port switch. There is one PC also connected to that switch, that can get online fine. When she connects hers, it doesn't give her an IP. I assume this is because the cable modem passed along that single IP and gave it to the first computer and now is "out", because there's no router to do network address translation.
What is the best way around this? I've heard that the other PC that has internet can set up internet connection sharing? I've never had to do this before, as I've always had a router available to make things easier. Thanks.
