| 117000 | 2003-01-29 02:58:00 | Got a curly prob right now - I have 3 users on the network who can access all the network machines, can ping the internet router but can't access any websites (page not found error) nor can download email using either OE or Outlook. Both can be pinged also no problems there. All other users (30 or so) are fine and have net access no worries. The 3 problem machines are on different network switches so that's not the reason. Any helpful suggestions? |

| 117001 | 2003-01-29 03:02:00 | What OS is the gateway and what is the clients? Have you copied the setting for the Network setup exactly from another working machine?? It may pay to have a look at Susan B's recent networking troubles, even though it ended up in a format. Cheers Chilling_Silence |

| 117002 | 2003-01-29 03:13:00 | Hey CS Router is a hardware unit - andyes have copies accross network settings but in reality, they are the same as they were yesterday...when the machines worked perfectly. Ain't got time to reformat 3 machines! I wish... real bizzaro thing especially since they are on different netwrok swtiches - my instant thought was a patch cable gone bad between two hubs, but no, nothing's that easy is it? Am running Cybersiter but have disable that but no change. |

| 117003 | 2003-01-29 03:23:00 | So you've tried those machines on the other switch, and other machines on that switch... ??? | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 117004 | 2003-01-29 03:29:00 | Yup - 34 PCs no probs accessing email and web, but not 3 machines.... | falvrez (390) | ||
| 117005 | 2003-01-29 03:43:00 | Have you added any other machines to the network? We used to have a problem where the firewall only allowed 25 machines to access the net. We ended up with about 30. We had to arrange IP addresses in the DHCP server to specify which machines were in the right IP range to get through the firewall. New machines sometimes picked up IP's that were allowed, resulting in another which was previously allowed being outside the 25. |

| 117006 | 2003-01-29 03:53:00 | HI Alister Yeah no prob with the router - it's set to be the DHCP server (am upgrading to win2000 server soon) and the range is up to 100 from memory - but will check it just in case. Haven't added any more PCs, although I've got 3 coming so need to get this sorted before setting those up. |

| 117007 | 2003-01-29 04:15:00 | Simple solution: tell those who can't get Internet that they haven't bribed you enough. When they do, swap their machine with someone else's, and repeat it. Then retire on the proceeds, and leave it for your successor. :D Looks a bit as if they've lost their DNS settings. |

| 117008 | 2003-01-29 07:20:00 | Don't tell anyone but occasionally when I get snowed under (read every day) and someone has a dodgy network cable I just swap it with someone who isn't there and hope to find time the next day to fix it before they turn up for work... | falvrez (390) | ||
