I was using everything normally, the whole network worked as normal, then I rebooted, and all of a sudden all this happened. The modem only connects to one computer (the closest), and doesn’t connect to the other 3 even if the close computer’s unplugged.
One 25 Metre cable connects to my main pc (vista), the other 10 Metre cable to a windows xp pc. The close computer runs windows xp. If I try to connect any directly to the modem, the close pc works, but the rest don’t. I also tried with a laptop (didn’t work).
I replaced my router but it still didn’t work. I have also tried switching around the cables to different ports on the router, but that doesn’t work either.
I also tried using a pci network card on my main pc, but that didn’t work either :doh:
I don’t see what ks making two of the pc’s not work, so suddenly.
presumably, if your using a standard router, then, you are already using PCI NICs, it may help you to completely disconnect everything then sit down with a coffee & a cigarette (if you smoke) and think about how everything should be connected, to work successfully, & you’ll suddenly think you thick :swear: and you’ll know exactly how to connect everything & how it should be configured
Please run the commands ipconfig/all and route show on each host. For each host, paste the contents of both into a text file, name it after the PC in question, and upload each one here. We’ll be glad to look them over and help identify any network problems.
well ok ----------–(Antena cable)–Modem—(Ethernet)—
/-------------------------------------------------/ Switch----------Ethernet--------------- Close pc (xp)
l--------Ethernet cable (built in wall)----- My pc (vista)
l-- -----Ethernet cable (built in wall)----- [B]Other pc (xp)
[/B]But still, i even tried connecting my laptop (vista) to the same ethernet cable as the closest one, but that didn’t work.
