Linksys router setup problem Fermé

Question

I'm having some problems with my new Linksys 1-port router.  I bought thisas a single interface to my cable modem.I have two systems:ARCHIMEDES - a laptop running win2k professional with SP1SOCRATES - a PC running Win NT Workstation 4.0 SP 5They are both connected to a hub, whose uplink is fed by the router.After installing the router, the PC hasn't been able to see it at all.  Theonly thing it has been able to see is my laptop, but I believe it is doingthat through NetBEUI, not TCPIP.I've tried configuring the PC to use a valid static IP on the router'snetwork segment, but it doesn't work.  Here is something else I have foundquite strange.After configuring the laptop as a DHCP client to the router, I went to therouter's DHCP server screen and asked it to list the DHCP client table.  Butthe only DHCP client name I saw listed was SOCRATES (not ARCHIMEDES, asexpected).  I veriified that the IP assigned was in fact the one that wasbeing successfully used by ARCHIMEDES.I found this quite strange, so I renamed SOCRATES to PROMETHEUS and rebootedboth systems.  The DHCP client table still said "SOCRATES" as the loneclient when I did this, even though now there is no computer with this nameon my little network.I am not sure if that is a red herring or not, but this definitely has leftme quite confused.  I am unable to use my PC now to connect to the Internet,whereas the laptop connects fine.Oh, as another note -- after I got the laptop to work correctly with therouter, I installed the latest firmware version.  However, I have triedextensive testing like this both before and after the firmware upgrade.I have even tried to configure both the laptop and the PC to use static IP's(eg: 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3)... none of this has worked.I am stumped.  Can anyone help me determine what is the problem?Steve

Hello steve,I think you should ask such a question on the "Réseau" forum...  specialists are there rather than on "Divers" since your question is rather hard (at least to me).@12C4Ipl

Bonsoir à tous,Je n'avais pas bien lu le message ce matin et j'ai été impressionné par le titre qui parle de routeur, par Sovrate et Archimède qui je prenais pour des logiciels réseaux sophistiqués !Oui Steve  a installé un routeur pour partager sa liaison Internet par cable mais son problème n'est pas si compliqué que çà pour nos fans de réseau !@12C4Ipl

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against english speaking users and I will happily answer to posts in english if I can be of any help. My questions are: Will it segregate a big portion of the community that is not fluent in this language?Could this be seen as an offense to some?If nobody is available to translate, could this seriously impair the ability of the poster to receive a quick and accurate response?I will encourage the english posters to try to post in french if they can, since the CCM users had show more than once their tolerance regarding foreign users with limited vocabulary like the arab community there is no reason for us to deny attention  to a message written in questionnable french.That was my opinion on the matter, hope I did not hurt any feelings ;-)Eaulive...Vaut mieux un p'tit piment qu'un avion en plastique

Hi Eaulive !  Instead of a technical reply, here they should have a lesson on the french way for individual liberty.  Not bad !   ----     | (  ) |  OFou, alias le Fox-terrier

hello steve..first i will redirect this post to the "networking" sectionsecond, as eaulive saiud, try to post in french please... this uis a french speaking forulm, and aqs he said we do not really matter about grammatical errors made by foreigners (that's something else when they come from french guys :p)for your problem, well the name problem is'nt really one, it's a problem of cahcing datas, your router keeps in memory the association beetween the name and the MAC address..you should first of all try to ping your Pc form your laptop and vice versa... just to ensure that the tcp/ip is working fine between them....O (_)__... Castor
