Thanks for reply. Answer to your question.
The LAN is using a fast Ethernet adapter, (sorry not at
problem computer so unable to give name), installed
inside the host/server computer (has been working before)
& is then wired from this computer downstairs to
upstairs, (on landing) where the new 'Sitecom' Network
Switch (5 port) is going to be installed, then up to 3
laptops or computers would be plugged into this Network
Switch wired to each bedroom. They would then configure
their own laptops to the one downstairs, have this system
working in 3 other houses, with up to 6 bedrooms using
only a hub on landing, and is working fine. So cannot
understand why this house has the problem? Maybe using a
Network Switch instead of a simple hub (as told this is
better) may work when it gets installed. I will look at
the websites you mention also.
