Office networks need help =) [networking assistance] [linksys router]
Q: Greetings, I will be short and sweet – here are the specs: Linksys Router
DSL — — u003e u003e u003e — Linksys Switch 8 WinXP Pro workstations u0026amp; a Win2K Server
DCHP maintained by the Router
Protocols installed on each workstation and server are: Client for Microsoft +
- Networks
File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft QoS Packet Networks
Scheduler
-NWLink NWLink Netbios
-IPX/SPX
-Internet-protocol (TCP / IP
There) Win95 machines used here, IPX/SPX
My hence the problem is, my shortcuts to folders on the server or on my mapped network drives, there is a huge gap in the line, which did not exist before my hub deceased and I switched to this switch 0.
Any help would be very apprecited be. (And I can answer additional questions)
Sincerely,
Sean
Best Answer: You can use Remote Desktop for example, or VNC.

Re:DHCP gives clients(PCs etc) an IP address, assigns a simple subnet, DNS servers, and assigns a gateway address.
What I am telling you to try is bypass the automated process that the oruter uses, but you STILL need the router.
1) In the routers setup, record it's LAN IP address. IT should be something like 192.168.0.1 etc. Disable DHCP
With simple devices and corressponding simplistic setups, remember that the first 3 spaces will remain the same for all IP addresses on you machines.
For each machine, assuming you re using winxp, go to network properties, TCP/IP properties, and change the IP address to 192.168.0.x, where x is any number between 2 and 254.
the subnet mask should be set to 255.255.255.255

The default gateway should be set to your routers LAN IP address. Assuming that you are using the default for linksys devices, the gateway should be set to 192.168.0.1
The DNS servers are what translate www.google. ocm to the Public IP of 216.239.47.114
YOu must get these from your service provider.
For example, comcast's are 64.48.0.13 and 68.48.0.5 in my area. Call your service provider and find out. Type these values in where they are asked for in the TCP/IP properties.
Now you should be able to communicate with the router, your own network, and the internet.
TO test this go to Internet explorere, and see if google comes up.
Then, with the Computername of another terminal,
type this into the address bar:
\\terminalname
See if the sahres pop up(assuming you have shares…password protected shares should porompt for a password)

Re:When I turn off DHCP and assign static IP's – should I eliminate the router from the setup??
Well not if you want to keep Internet access to all your computers without connection sharing…

Re:1. Turn off DHCP
2. Assign Static IPs at each PC
3. Try this again.

Re:Hi Sean … it is most likely a problem with the switch config… or a switch to router config proble … can you eliminate the router as the switch will andle a direct input from the dsl modem … If you want to keep the same config try assigning static IPs….

Re:A little question on the side… why do you need IPX/SPX? I know you need NetBIOS to see the other computers but even with win95 I always thaught that you only needed NetBIOS and not IPX/SPX protocol to see the other network computers…

Re:Try running a virus scan on all of your office PC's and then see. With all of the virus activity going around, they can pretty much cause network's to crash with all of the activity it produces.
