Re: Help with long term network problem

This may or may not be relevant. When the CNET Wireless router was
initially set up it was by default set as a DHCP server, but since I
have assigned static IP addresses for each machine so they would not
change. The odd thing is that when the router was set as a DHCP server
the DATA computer would show up on the DHCP Client List on the router
with two IP addresses the static one assigned to the local area
connection and one that DID not match the static address.

There are two network cards in the DATA computer. The one on the
mother board stopped working so I installed another and it has worked
fine. The network card on the motherboard has been uninstalled and
disabled. The network problems may be related to replacing the wired
router with the wireless router, but again the system worked well for
4-5 months w/o a problem after that change.

I even took the DATA computer off-line assuming that some how this was
the guilty unit and replaced it with the DELL-8400 as file and print
server but the network problems continued.
