[Answered] Home Networking Problem :(
Hi everyone. I have 5 machines on a network. The schematics look something like this:
DSL Modem & Router
\/
Wireless N Router --->(Via Cable) 1 PC
\/
(Via Wireless) --> 3 Desktops, 1 Laptop.
OK. My problem is that I have one of the desktop PC's Running Windows Vista Home Prem. can't load some websites, while those same websites can be viewed on the other PC's & Laptops. I've set some of them up via DHCP (Like the laptop since I take it everywhere I go and I need HOTSPOTS for it), and 1 desktop. The rest are already preconfigured to work on my network with specific IP addresses.
For example, the laptop has the following information:
IP address : 192.168.1.100
Subnet : 255.255.255.0
DNS : 192.168.1.1
While the desktop (where i'm having the problem) has the following:
IP address : 192.168.1.40
Subnet : 255.255.255.0
DNS : 192.168.1.1
I've also changed it to DHCP, and still the same result. ebay.com wont load! While sometimes searching on google, I click a link and it wont load. While on the laptop, clicking the same link will load. We're all on the same network with basically the same configuration. I know it's not the NIC because I changed it for one that I know works well, and still the same result... I've changed between firefox and IE and same results. Any ideas?
Thanks!
