I bought a new pc, and installed win7 on it. but when i connect it to my linksys sd208, it says unidentified network. what seems to be the problem. thanks

This unit does not require configuration. Simply connect main drop / ISP modem and use. The ports are auto detect, so basicly you can use any port. Uplink and / or crossover ready.

The full manual is only 9 pages, but even the 2 pager said it all.

there must be ip related to these:
192.168.0.1
192.168.1.1

You can find various document from below link

HI
The linksys sd208 is a switch and switches do not have a DHCP servers. You will have to look at your router or if you have a server for the DHCP server.

Hi,

Its a 8 port ethernet switch. You can connect this device into your network and connect more devices on it. For more information please visit the link below.

to do this you need CROSSED ETHERNET CABLE

If you are not connected to the Internet and both PC's are trusted and you want to network them. The easiest solution would be to disable the firewall on both machines since there's no need to block anything. You may also need to enable file sharing on the Vista machine under networking.If this is going to be a permanent setup and you don't plan on adding any other devices I would exchange the Switch w/ a crossover cable connected into each other to save on electricity.

If it says local or unidentified network that means you are just connected to the router on the network but not through the internet. Try to go to manage wireless network, remover your network there and add it again, connect to your own network and make sure to type the correct network key., then check again. You can also try connecting to other wireless network to further isolate the problem.

if you cant connect to the internet you camn go to Start, Rum and type CMD, when the black screen aprears type in ipconfig /flushdns and enter then type ipconfig /renew

Yes, but you'll need a crossover cable to connect the two routers. You could buy a hub or a switch. They are easier to configure and cheaper.
