Thank you for the response, Gilbert. I thought I answered every
question asked.... how odd! In any case this is my setup:
I have a DSL modem (a pk5000) which feeds the XBMC computer about 3
feet to the left of it (which I am using to write this). Then my
brother moved in so I put a connection in his room. To do this I ran a
cable to my office (down the hallway) (20 feet) through the outside
wall and under the mobile home and into his room (20 more feet). Then
I got my linux from scratch computer (that didn't have a wireless
card) and I had to run another cable. However, because I didn't want
another cable running alongside the one I had already installed I
opted to put a spare router (configured to be a switch) into my office
then I have two cables coming out of it one to the new computer and
one to my brothers room.....
Fixed it! I had the cable from the living room plugged into the
internet port. I plugged it into a LAN port and everything works
again. I'd swear I had it plugged into the internet port before.

Mike,
Just like HM said, you are going 1000mph in no direction with a
1000 posts. With that being said, all I know from this whole
thread is that you are having computer weirdness, you think your
router is broke, and this all happened after you moved your
computer. Additionally, even though all this is occurring, you
still can post to this message list so you have Internet on some
device is some form. When others have posted questions, you have
either moved your questions in a different direction, partially
answered them, or not answered them at all. This cannot continue
if you wish someone to help you move forward. People will go
silent in response.
Maybe some illustrations would help in describing how your are
connected and what is working and not working. You need to go back
to basics (Use the OSI model to troubleshoot moving from the
Physical layer up to the Application layer). Examples of questions
to ask yourself and put in your message could include but is not
be limited to...
1. Describe the model of your router(s) including tags so we know
which router(s) you are speaking of since I know you have at least
2 from everything you have said.
2. What devices are plugged into which ports of your router(s)
including any interconnects?
3. What are the status lights on your router(s)/switch(es)/Network
Card(s)?
4. What IP address are you expecting?
5. Are any devices working on your network? Getting out to the
Internet or getting an IP? What port on what router are they
plugged into? Which router are they plugged into?
6. If you isolate your computer and router (nothing else plugged
in, including the modem), Do you get an IP address from the router?
7. Have you verified that the DHCP client software is installed
and running on the network interface card of your computer?
8. Do you have any known good computer that you can test from,
knowing that from previous posts you thought it could be your
computer?
9. Does your Internet work if you plug directly into the modem
with your computer?
10. Have you verified with your Internet Service provider that
your Internet is working properly?
Please do not just inline post a response. Put some thought into
it and respond with something easy to read by someone without
experience with your network. I cannot help you otherwise.
