[SOLVED] Router problems!

Kyomoo · 08-08-2008, 06:27 PM

Okay, I'm trying to hook up an internet connection with a PC and a laptop through an OfficeConnect Dual Speed Switch 16. I've done it before and it worked fine but now I'm using a different PC and I'm only getting one computer to pick up the internet connection. If I plug in the laptop first, the laptop gets the connection and if I plug in the PC first, it gets the connection. But when I plug them both in at the same time, one of them randomly works and the other won't. I have no clue what I'm doing, really and it's frustrating. Please help.

Let's see this for the working computer.

Hold the Windows key and press R, then type CMD to open a command prompt:

In the command prompt window that opens, type type the following command:

Note that there is a space before the /ALL, but there is NOT a space after the / in the following command.

IPCONFIG /ALL

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter.
Paste the results in a message here.

If you are on a machine with no network connection, use a floppy, USB disk, or a CD-RW disk to transfer a text file with the information to allow pasting it here.
