I have three PCs connected via Blackbox switch. They all run a program called Roam Alert which is security software for door alarms. We have the main server which has it's own static IP and then we have the other two machines using DHCP.
My problem is that the 2nd computer that we use is not communicating properly with Roam Alert. This started after we upgraded our PCs. On the first PC we were able to plug in the new one, add the work group and we were set. We went to the second one and got the communication issue. After much trial and tribulation we decided to put the old machine back on-line just so we would have it but now that one says it can't communicate either.
The weird thing is that the computers all see each other on the network. I can share files back and forth and also ping with no lost packets.
I do have all of my firewalls disabled as we don't need internet access on this network.
I do not have any virus software running. (I even removed it from the machine)
I've also tried releasing and renewing the IP address and also flushing the DNS.
The funny thing is, we tried putting the working computer on the 2nd ethernet port and we still had the same issue.
Does anyone have any ideas? I've been scratching my head for a week trying to get this up and running.
Thanks!
