Home Networking Problem
I'm no network guru - I have a basic setup that was fine for a while that
recently developed a problem and I have no idea what to try.
Here's the setup: I have a DLink wireless router connected to my cable
modem, allowing access from a laptop. I have a DLink switch cabled to the
router, and two desktop computers (A and B) cabled to the switch. Computer A
has the monitor, keyboard and mouse and access to computer B is done from
computer A via Remote Desktop Connection (had a KVM switch once, but it
stopped working). Computers A, B and the laptop all run Windows XP with
current updates.
I was using computer A to download some files from work over the weekend and
I noticed that it stopped during the download. I could not get it to access
the internet, though device manager thinks all is well. Even after a reboot.
The laptop gets to the internet fine.
Computer B gets to the internet fine.
Computer A can remote into computer B with no problems
If I remote into computer B from a different machine, I can then use it to
remote into computer A with no problems
Computer B can get to the router admin page (using IE) OK, but computer A
cannot.
I tried switching cables between computer A and B, and switching the jacks
used on the switch - no difference.
So it seems A just can't get beyond the switch, though B can.
Any thoughts, suggestions?
Thanks

Hello CapCity,
Please post an unedited ipconfig /all form both machines first to see if
something is with the basic setup.
