| 600596 | 2007-10-11 09:31:00 | 1 . How many computers? 2 . What version of Windows? 3 . What about firewalls? What firewall/s are installed? 4 . Make SURE all computers have the SAME workgroup name . 5 . Have you given all of the computers their own ip addresses? 6 . Have you got dialup or broadband? Are you using a modem/router if youre on broadband? 7 . Do you want (a) these computers to see each other on a network or (b) all of them to have access the internet as well? 8 . Also MAKE SURE you create a folder on each, and share one folder (NOT the whole hard drive) . And folder sharing is enabled on all of them as well . |

| 600597 | 2007-10-11 09:35:00 | I don't think I mentioned that the switch has a consol port on it and that all the info on the net that I could find says it is a layer 2 managed switch. If so how do I get into it other than with a hammer lol:lol: :help: | ivorandjuan (12913) | ||
| 600598 | 2007-10-11 09:40:00 | I have gone through all of the above - I'm running a fixed IP cable internet at 12mbps and I want to share the internet connection with all my pc's and proxy software isn't working out very well for me. A lot of my applications eg Skype, Azeureus won't run on mashines other than "the server" | ivorandjuan (12913) | ||
| 600599 | 2007-10-11 09:44:00 | Yer so what version of Windows are we talking about, (on all of these computers), and how many computers are we talking about? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 600600 | 2007-10-11 10:28:00 | I don't think I mentioned that the switch has a consol port on it and that all the info on the net that I could find says it is a layer 2 managed switch. If so how do I get into it other than with a hammer lol:lol: :help:Connect a serial cable to it, and fire up a terminal emulator. The usual settings for switches etc are 9600, 8N1. The interface will be command-line based. If someone has set up vlans or port-based authentication on the switch this could cause issues - if the switch is new it shouldn't be a problem. Interesting though - the page I looked at from google said it wasn't a managed switch - guess I was wrong. |

| 600601 | 2007-10-11 18:17:00 | We are running Windows XP Professional on all the computers - 4 in total - with telstreclear internet. Our anti-virus is mckafee and normal windows firewall. | ivorandjuan (12913) | ||
| 600602 | 2007-10-11 18:24:00 | i don't know much about terminal emulators. I did create one using hyper terminal. It says it is connected but yet I cannot type anything. Where can I send or take the switch for someone to have a look at it for me please? I am in Christchurch | ivorandjuan (12913) | ||
| 600603 | 2007-10-11 23:41:00 | I want o connect the computers that they can see each other as well as be able to go on the internet from each one. | ivorandjuan (12913) | ||
| 600604 | 2007-10-11 23:43:00 | I would buy another ethernet hub. A 4-5 port one. Obviously you've set the computers up and plugged them into this hub, and configured everything, it doesnt work. So, whats the point in trying to network these PC's, with this hub. |

So, whats the point in trying to network these PC's, with this hub. You seem to have completely missed the boat Speedy! The switch seems to be working fine, its a managed switch and the OP wants to gain access to its user interface. Most managed switches have a web interface just like a router ;) |
