Try a) rebooting the switch - I've had problems with the low end of the market falling over for no reason b) Unplug the PCs and replug in different ports c) If you've got a crossover cable, then try connecting them directly. If this works, then you know it's the switch that's playing up. Otherwise, is it a firewall setup on one of them? There've been a lot of threads where this was the base problem. Good Luck (: steve
