It could be a problem with the configuration on one of the PCs - as they are all set up to use DHCP to configure their network interfaces, or do any have static IP address assigned?
Hope that helps a bit.
hi mate
cheers for that its all stuff i can understand
. We have 6 ip devices connecting to the switch, currently we have the router empty except for the WAN port and the cable connecting it to the switch. I'm going to try resetting the router to its base settings. I have assigned myself a static IP i think, other pc's havent, my friend tried to do that yesterday but didnt have much luck, Would you suggest setting up all static IP's or leaving them all DHCP?
Thanks Again
