,I have in one of my rented houses, a wireless always on broadband, on a
main computer in the dining room, acting as a server as well as being able
to connect to the internet, OS is Win XP Pro. with a wired network system
to 2 edrooms using a Sitecom network 5 port switch, which was working fine
in the morning yesterday, then in the afternoon, the computers in the
bedrooms could not connect to the internet, the pc icon has the exlamation
mark stating not connected, yet it is shown on the main computer downstairs
as connected and working fine. I've checked all the network connections
highlighting Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) properties these are correct on all
computers, anyway, no-one changed anything between working then not
working. Have replaced the Sitecom network switch, with a new one, incase
the old one was not working, as I'd had to do this about 18 months ago, and
got it working then, still won't work. Please can you help me, as my
husband died last November, who used to sort out all the wiring and
connections, with me dealing with the computers configs. Just to point out
I cannot use a wireless system in the house having one coming in from an
aerial on the roof as wireless. Also cannot use a router, as the wireless
connection is installed inside the main computer. I cannot see the the other
computers on 'my network places', yet says the LAN is connected? Please,
please can someone out there help me? I am in the process of selling this
property and don't want it to not go through, because of this problem.
