i have a network with assigned ip's connected to a server. How do i share a t1 internet connection? I have plugged the router to the switch but can not see the internet on all the computers. If i plug a laptop into the switch and configure the local area connection with the routers gateway, DNS server, IP it works. I thought it would be plug and play?

I am using a cisco 1840 router connected to a cisco sd216 switch
