Viper101 Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Hi all Been having some problems with the network at home. I have a Belkin wireless router in the study, directly connected to this is the study computer. I have 2 wireless computers upstairs and 1 wireless laptop. All wireless computers work correctly, however when the study computer is turned on all wireless computers loose the signal and cannot connect, the wireless computers try to reconnect but the connection keeps dropping out. The Internet on the study computer works perfectly. Any ideas why the wireless computers would be affected by a computer directly wired into the router?

+StevoFC MVC Posted April 10, 2008 MVC Share Posted April 10, 2008 could be an IP conflict. make sure the desktop pc isn't set to have a static ip address if you have dhcp enabled on the router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper101 Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 All computers have static, unique IP addresses. The router has the latest firmware. Study computer is running XP, laptop Vista, Brothers computer is running XP and my computer is running Vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyther Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 It sounds like you study computer is dangerous. Is the study computer wired or wireless? If its wireless maybe the adapter is faulty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper101 Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 Its wired. Some reason my desktop upstairs was in the DMZ on the router. I changed this and seems to have stopped the problems. Which is rather odd. :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
