Ravic,
What ADSL service do you have? Are you paying for single or multiple (how
many?) IP addresses?
What brand and model is this switch? The gateway? Does either provide a DHCP
server?
How many computers do you have successfully connecting? A list, using assigned
name, and OS name and version might be useful.
Please provide ipconfig information for the new WinXP box, and for one working
box.
Start - Run - "ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt" - Open c:\ipconfig.txt in
Notepad, copy and paste into your next post.
>From each computer for which you provided ipconfig:
1) Ping the other by name.
2) Ping the other by ip address.
3) Ping itself by name.
4) Ping itself by ip address.
5) Ping 127.0.0.1.
Report success / failure of each of 10 pings.
Cheers,
Chuck
