Chris,
Please try again. Try first "ipconfig /all", and see if the output resembles
this example:
Windows IP Configuration
Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : MyComp
Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . :

Once you see output similar to my example, try "ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt".
When you get this to work, the more computers that you can provide this
information for, the better. Once we have some IPConfigs to look at, the
problem may be visible.
And provide the make and model of both switch and hub.
