Hi,
I'm having a peculiar problem. I've setup a small home network with 2 pcs (winxp). They are connected by a cat5 cable to a 8 port dlink 1008d switch. When cat5 cable connection is done - winxp shows 100 mpbs connection.
And a ADSL router (make: dlink 502T adsl2+) is connected to one port of the switch. They are all physically placed next to a 800 VA Su-kam inverter with 190 VA lead-acid battery. They all are placed at a height of about 6.5 ft on a wooden platform in a passage to the bedroom.
Below this wooden platform is the home's MCBS (miniature circuit breakers) 12+1 (big one). Each one is meant for a different circuit.
I've noticed that in this config ping from one pc to another looses between 50 to 95% packets. Router lights are 'on' properly.
adsl router worked for a while (half a day) when installed in this config but subsesquently even ADSL router's ADSL light and PPOE light does not light up i.e., I do not get ADSL's internet connection. When the PCs are connected directly to the ADSL router (without going thru the switch) - router's internet conection (ADSL light) does not work but ping is showing a perfect connection i.e., 100% packets are recd and sent by each PC.
When ADSL is tested separately - in a place about 10 feet away from this place - it works perfectly. I've not tried using it through the switch.
this Switch - when I tested at my office - it is working perfectly.
Could it be that electrical interference from the inverter and/or mcb could be causing the switch and adsl router to loose packets and not give reliable connection?
