I ran into some problem I was going to run cat 5 cable from the basement (where my router is at) to the first floor (my tv and htpc)
fail #1, where the tv is located it's above my basement bathroom so I cant drill a hole
ok fine I picked up 2 trendnets power lines network adapter and a network switch
so I hook everything up to the switch and nothing
when I use the powerline to the pc it works fine but hooking up to the switch and then to the pc I get nothing (just a bunch of flashing lights on the switch)
is there something I have to do to config this (cause i thought all I had to do was plug everything up and it would work)
edit I need the switch because I need to hook up a blu-ray player (for netflix and pandora) the tv (for updates and widgets) and my htpc (for porn heh)
