I recently switched service from DSL to cable and now 2 out of the 3
computers in my network won't work. I've done all the resetting I can.
The one computer that works is a Mac, and the 2 that don't are PC's.
The Mac also works when it's directly plugged into the cable modem.
Anyone got an idea what I can do to get the other 2 computers
accessing the internet?

It is likely that your DSL provider offered you multiple IPs and your cable
provider does not. You would need to replace the switch with a router or
purchase muliple IPs from your cable provider. I'd recommend a router.
