use a wireless or router system in the house, having wireless unit in host
computer, coming in from an aerial on the roof). I cannot see the other
computers on ?my network places?, yet says the LAN is connected? My husband
died last November, used to be able to sort it. Some more information to be
help anyone sort this problem out please. (sorry Chuck, had to enter new
thread again, not in same thread, as we communicated so much, other one ran
out of space! (Have included everything you suggested me to try & give you),
please, if you can still help me, or anyone else?

Sitecom Network Switch information:
PWR LED, indicates power is present (red light is lit)
P1~P5 LED (LN-112), port status LED?s indicating the status of each of the 5
ports. Green light is lit on 3 ports (ones used).
Speed 100 Mbps LED, A green LED indicates if the speed is 100 Mbps. This is
lit.
Link/Activity LED, when the LED is lit, then there?s a link, when the LED
blinks then there?s activity. (green light lit, but NOT blinking).

The ipconfig /all done on the 3 computers:

Hope someone can help me over this problem?

Heather,

OK, this is a good job (and valid reason) for starting a new thread. Good job
moving the details too. But you can (should) improve.

So here we have 81m111ad, the host, able to connect to the Internet. The
clients, manchest-56c115 and ThuyTran, aren't getting addresses to get them on
the network. This is a limited or no connectivity scenario.

http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/07/limited-or-no-connectivity.html

First, verify that you do (or don't) have physical connectivity. You're going
to have to do this (I don't fly cheap, particularly overseas).
# Find the Sitecom switch.
# Find the 3 cables coming in from the 3 computers.
# Identify which cable comes from which computer, and into which port.
# Identify the light (or set of lights) associated with each port.
# Identify the colour, or behaviour of each light (or set of lights).
# Use the manual, and translate the lights into a diagnosis, for each port.

Do that, and report back here. Identify the behaviour of each set of lights,
and what the manual tells you, for each port (computer connection) on the
switch. We will continue from there.

And Heather, if you can print a picture when you run "ipconfig /all", you can
produce a file. Read the IPConfig article.

And if you can produce a file from "ipconfig /all", you can email that file, and
you can copy and paste the contents of that file. That will be more accurate,
and easier for everybody to read. Again, look at the IPConfig article, and see
how neatly it's formatted. You said that you know how to copy and paste. So
prove that.
