Router = Belkin Cable/DSL Gateway Router (F5D5231uk4)
O/S = Win XP home, service pack 2 (on all pc's)
Network Card = Realtek RTL 8139 family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC
Cable Modem
PC's = P4, 1ghz+, 512mb Ram
Router - 192.168.2.1
Subnet - 255.255.255.0
Gateway - 192.168.2.1
DNS - 194.168.4.100
Firewall switched off
Wired Network Setup:
PC a --
PC b -- Router - Cable - Internet
PC c --
Network use = All PC's to have internet access
Connecting PC A is fine and working at full.
When tryin to connect PC's B and C i seem to have the same
problem on both. Both Network cards LED light is on, so the connection
is fine, but both PC's cannot recieve from the router. They are able to send
with no problems. I have tried default settings of automatic IP and DNS
settings in the TCP/IP properties with DHCP, but both computers cannot find the network. The connection said - "Limited or no connection..."
After seeing this i manually put in the IP's 192.168.2.*, subnet mask, gateway
and DNS. When doing this the connection switched to "connected", i thought great its worked! But the PC was sending and not receiving still. Ive tried a whole host of things to get it to work, but no success. I tried automatic settings in explorer, network wizard, resetting modem and router.
Ive even tried and tested the cables, by unplugging the ones going into
PC B and C and plugging them into a laptop, and the laptop works fine, it connects to the network and can browse the internet.
Ive run out of idea's of what the problem is, why is PC A fine and the laptop also fine when using the same wires, but PC B and C dont see the router??
Could it be something to do with the router settings? Or something else?
