Here's my setup:
4 Computers, all running Windows XP (workstations)
Linksys 8 port 10/100 switch
1 computer connected to DSL through a USB cable (server)
Switch says all computers are connected, with 3 solid lights.
I ran the XP Network Wizard on the computer with the DSL line, then used that info to setup the other computers with a thumb drive. (file / printer sharing enabled)
Not one of the computers can see another.
I ran a ping on each system, which can see it's own IP, but none of the others.
Bad switch?

Added - The router is currently in a location nowhere near a phone jack. Could possibly have one wired in. Would it make it easier to run the DSL modem into the switch, then use that as the modem connection?
