Small LAN: 4 PCs + network printer(which have loval IP address also).
Win XP home on all PC. Internet connection via ADSL modem with
integrated router: modem has only 2 LAN outputs(this modem for home
users mainly): LAN A and LAN B. One our PC connected directly to 'LAN
A' output, and the 'LAN B' output connected to HUB (8-port HUB Genius)
=> the rest 3 PCs are connected to this HUB. There is periodical
problems with access to network shares: mainly with this PC which
directly connected to modem (this PC also often have same problem to
access other network PCs): "..Share is not accessible... The network
patch was not found".
Internet connection configured correctly, internet works. I think the
abovementioned configuration isn't optimal, this ADSL modem have only 2
LAN output. Genius 8-port HUB is old enough. What is optimal
configuration for this network? Should we consider some Ethernet
broadband router with a built-in 7-port switch?(instead of HUB)
thanks
