 |
|
I was working installing a 2nd computer and a switch to a network with
a cable modem. I added the switch and plugged the new cable that I
make into the computer that had the modem working on and it then
started sending packets but it wouldn't receive anything. the first
thing I did was try a different cable that I know works and I got the
same problem so I knew I didn't make a bad cable all of the settings
are right and all the lights that should be on are on. The system
doesn't show any other problems so I think it's just a bad card. But
if anyone could think of anything else please let me know.

You want a straight-thru patch cable between the switch and the
cablemodem, not a cross-over cable. On the switch, there is usually one
rj45 connector that is crossover. Use ping to make them talk. |

it is a straight-thru cable, and the modem and the other computer work
fine and i have tried different ports on the switch. the modem is a
motorola surfboard sb4101, it automaticaly detects if it needs to be a
cross over and switches the send and receive pairs internaly, so you
just use a strait-thru no mater what. |

My Guess is you need a Router between the Modem and the switch. That will
handle the gateway issue you may be having.

I think you need a router not a switch. Most routers have built in switches
now and are very cheap considering. You can pick one up at best buy.

computer. because if i set it back up the way it was befor when it was
working it does the same thing. |

David, what kind of switch are you using? The ones I'm familar with are
like 8 ports that work like a hub, but capable of 100mhz.
