      Normal home/small office switches don't have any configuration, just plug in all the cables and it works.

        You have to follow these instructions precisely: 1) Get a 35-foot CAT-5e cable rated for outside use, and make 7 coils between 7 and 8 inches in diameter, twisting the wire three times before it completes a coil. Lay the coiled wire on the desk and place something heavy on it to keep the coils from uncoiling. 2) Get four standard 7-inch metal butter knives, and tape them together so that when laid flat on the desk, the handles alternate between pointing up and down. Some people claim that if the handle is down on the left side, you get a better signal, but nobody's been able to prove it to my satisfaction. 3) Use 2-inch wide aluminum tape to connect the knifes together at both ends (be careful not to let the tape at one end touch the tape at the other end. 4) Solder a six-inch piece of 16-gauge wire on the handles of both the outermost knives. 5) Wrap the knife assembly in electrical tape so that the only thing exposed is the two pieces of wire. 6) Take the knife assembly and carefully tape the wire as tightly as possible to the coiled cat-5 cable. The tape will also server to keep the cat-5 coiled up. 7) Take one end of the cat5 and plug it into your switch. Plug the other end into your computer. 8) Your your internet connection. If you get a net connection that you don't want, unplug the cat5 from your computer and plug it into another available port on your switch. (that's why they call a switch a "switch"). If you're still having problems, google is your friend.

            You forgot to mention the tinfoil hat requirement during periods of heavy sunspot activity. And here I thought you were an expert...:doh:
