I just bought a switch so that I can share internet connection with the rest of other computers in my home. I think what I'm trying to do is Networking...I'm not sure (I'm DUMB). Please somebody try to give step by step how to do networking in home? I did try to do myself but I'm too DUMB--It did not work. Each time I try to connect internet in other computers it either say conflict IP address or username and password is not valid in this domain (something like that)....HELP!

First answer these questions :

1. How many systems are in total ?

2. Are the systems in same room or different ?

3. Who is your Internet Service Provider and under which package you are ?

hahah....sorry, I told ya I'm DUMB. So, I have to post it twicw :)

There are 3 system. And I have bought a switch. I did the assembly (although I'm not sure if it's the right assembly) and I can access my shared files from other computers. The problem occurs only when I try to connect to internet from other computers. Internet is working fine in my computer. The systems are all in different location, not in the same room.
