It could be claiming 99% of the pipe which would "seem" like the others had no connectivity. Hey Terry,

I would try these steps: 1) One by one connect the computers to the same port on the router that the XP machine that can connect uses. 2) Uninstall reinstall the network drivers on the 2 machines not working. 3) Look in the various router settings, ip address table, to see if the router sees all 3 computers. 4) Look for firmware updates for the router.

Enjoyed your article about getting a new Laptop. I, too, have a Dell laptop and I absolutely love it. Aside from an issue with UPS delivering it, the machine has been great. I am curious what machine you decide to get. Hi, Terry. Enjoyed your article about getting a new Laptop. I, too, have a Dell laptop and I absolutely love it.

I had similar problems with my network and after a lot of trial and error, i dug into the router settings and turned off DHCP. Assigned addresses for each computer to use in the router. then manually assigned each computer an address to connect to the internet. Worked for me as there are no conflicts between computers as they each have their own address. With regards to the router.

A lot of negotiation goes on when starting up.
