    To connect the modem to the switch's uplink port like you're doing, you'll need to contact your ISP and lease a second IP address. They'll probably charge you a few dollars a month extra for it.

    If you want to avoid paying for the extra address, look at www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/sharing.htm .
