How do I log in to the home network I just set up? I have two computers and
a cable modem attached to an ethernet switch, and ran the wizard on both
systems.
 
Hi

Unless you have a special Internet account that allows you to use two
External IPs you need to configure your system for Internet Sharing.

The content of the following links will provide you with a basic tutorial
about Sharing Internet and using Wireless.

The three first pages were written ages ago. You might ignore the prices,
and the specific choices of hardware, stick with the principles they are
still the same.

Hubs, routers, switches, DSL, LANs, WANs...? -

Wireless Principles - http://www.anandtech.com/guides/viewfaq.html?i=122

The whole thing should like this, http://www.ezlan.net/network/router.jpg

If you set every thing correctly, you are already Logged in.

To use the Internet just start your browser.

To use the LAN you need to set Windows Sharing.
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings,

As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what is allowed
to be shared.
