You can run an ethernet cable (cat5) from each of the laptops, and the ISP modem, to the switch. Or, if wireless is working you can continue to use that, and the switch to connect the laptops together.

I am guessing this is a stupid question...<br />
<br />
I am hooking up two laptops with front end access databases to a third laptop housing the tables. <br />
<br />
I will be using the following switch:<br />

<br />
My question is, how are the three laptops hookup to the internet while this is done?<br />
<br />
Can they still be hooked up to a wireless internet device? <br />
<br />
Or... Do I have to plug in a live cord into a port on the switch and then the laptops HAVE to be hookup up through the cord?<br />
<br />
Hope this makes sense... thanks!

Hooking up to the internet with a &quot;Switch&quot; connected

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
