Hi
I'm abosolutely pulling my hair out with this, been at it for best part of the weekend and family not too appreciative as you could imagine.
Where do I begin?.....I've 3 Pc's on my wired network, call them A, B & C.
PC 'A' is WinXP Pro and B&C are WinXP Home.
The problem is, PC's B & C cannot see my router, and cannot renew an ip address.
My Linksys router as been re-located and before the move everything worked just fine!
I know the re-wiring of the Cat5 cable is ok because PC 'A' as been tried at each of the 3 points and connects to the Net with no problem, but as soon as I switch back to PC B&C......no connection!
As for settings....Nothing as been changed from when it worked OK before.
My TCP/IP Properties are set to "Obtain an ip address automatically"
DHCP is set on my router. My router configuration is only accessible from PC 'A'
My Local Area Connection shows: TCP/IP, Quos Packet Sheduler, File and printer sharing M/S Networks and Client for M/S Networks.
And finally the "Workgroup" name for each PC is set to 'Workgroup'
Please could someone tell me where I'm going wrong......before my family have me taken away in a straight jacket!
Thanx
