PROBLEM
I have a problem, one day i had my cable internet plugged in and was happy.
Everything was fine till about 1 week ago. It just totally stopped working. Now, my dad has SBC DSL and Adelphia High speed. Its the adelphia im having a problem with. Back on topic, so the adelphia is messed up so i switch to the dsl thinking "ill just use the DSL till the cable is fixed." Well it did get fixed and now i unplugged the DSL and plugged in my cable. Well now the cable wont wokr on my computer, the connection doesnt even show up in NETWORK CONNECTIONS in the CONTROL PANEL. I reestarted the modem and the 2 switches. My dads laptop is having the same problem as I am because he switched connections as well. The two computers that we left the cable in have no problems at all. ONly the ones we switched the connections have this problem. We have everything hooked up right, we know this because the 2 out of 4 computers are working. also because the 2 that arent working, arent working because we switched the connections back and forth.
HOW WE'RE CONNECTED
Modem is downstairs and so is 1 computer.
2 switches - 1 upsrtairs 1 down.
3 computer upstairs.
modem connects to switch downstairs, from that switch it goes to my dads comp, then another cab;le from the same switch goes upstairs to another switch and 3 computers plug into that. The computer downstairs and 1 computer upstairs work.
if anyone knows what the problem is or knows how to fix this problem PLEASE help.
Thanks in advance.
