I don't have any insight into the specific problems you've had, but I will just mention that ethernet switches can sometimes get themselves into a state where specific machines simply don't work. I've got a laptop which for some reason just stopped connecting into the home network. I took it upstairs and plugged it into a different switch (on the same LAN), and it was fine. After trying different ports on the downstairs switch (including the port that another machine which was working fine was connected to), I eventually concluded that the patch cable was bad, but replacing it didn't fix things. Eventually, power-cycling the switch fixed things.
I cannot fathom how a simple ethernet switch can behave like this, but there you go. So if you ever get a connection problem like this that seems inexplicable, try rebooting your switches/hubs/routers. -- cliveb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23828 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
