The reason a switch is called a switch is it switches the transmit channel to the recieve channel. To hook 2 pc's together you need a cross over patch cord. Basically pairs 1,2 and 3,6 are swapped. Without this transmit goes to transmit, and recieve goest to recieve. Their for not working.

that's because your network card, does not feel the netwrok cable. make sure it's plugged in correctly in your network card, and in the wall.
