Hi
I'm not really sure what group to post this problem for.. but here goes
and thanks in advance for any help...
I have a small network which is connected as follow:
cable modem --> Zyxel prestige router --> swicth
The switch has a computer, a printerserver and a wireless accespoint
connceted. Additionally the acces point has up to three notebooks
connected.
This setup has been working super fine for a long time (½-1 year) as
long as it is only my own computers that are online, but sometimes when
a new computer wanted to get online the internet connection went dead!
A ping to the connection site/URL (log on site) timed out.
This did not worry me that much. It was only some times this happend
and they could simply not get access to my network and internet.
But now the big problem is that the internet connection dies when more
than one notebook is online. As soon as the second notebook gets online
the intetnet connection dies (Again a ping to the logon site/URL times
out). The connection is not established again before the notebook is
turned off (or just deactivated the netcard) and the router has been
restarted.
What can be the problem???
The version of windows xp is not the same for all the notebooks! Can
this perhaps be the problem? The PCMCIA card for both notebooks are the
same model as the acces point (Level One 54Mbit). The router has a
standard setup and provides internal IP adresse from 10.0.0.200 and up.
Please prompt me for additional information if you need that to solve
the problem. It think it is really strange.
Best regards
