Lost part of my LAN
Here's a strange problem, at least it is to me. I have
cable internet, which runs into computer #1 via ethernet. I have a second NIC card in computer #1 which goes to my hub, and from the hub to computer's #2, #3, and #4. They've been working great for many months now. All are running XP Home Edition with all of the MS updates. I rebooted computer #1 the other day, and now, all 4 computers can talk to each other (I can explore all harddrives from any of the computers, and use any of the printers from each computer), but only computer #1 has internet access. I've pulled the NIC's out, and reinstalled their drivers, but still don't have internet on any of them except for #1. I've went in and enabled ICS, still nothing. I even tried bridging the NIC's, but ICS already has done that. My broadband NIC is set to obtain the IP address automatically, which works great. The LAN NIC is manually set to 192.168.0.1, and the other computers are all set to 192.168.0.xx. Subnet masks are all 255.255.255.0. On the LAN side, there is no DNS server address set, and no default gateway's set. What am I missing here? Thanks for any suggestions! If possible, could you email the suggestions directly to me at . I really appreciate it! -Wes- |
