I thought I answered every question asked.... how odd! In
any case this is my setup:<br>
I have a DSL modem (a pk5000) which feeds the XBMC computer
about 3 feet to the left of it (which I am using to write
this). Then my brother moved in so I put a connection in his
room. To do this I ran a cable to my office (down the
hallway) (20 feet) through the outside wall and under the
mobile home and into his room (20 more feet). Then I got my
linux from scratch computer (that didn't have a wireless
card) and I had to run another cable. However, because I
didn't want another cable running alongside the one I had
already installed I opted to put a spare router (configured
to be a switch) into my office then I have two cables coming
out of it one to the new computer and one to my brothers
room.....</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">Fixed it! I had the cable from the
living room plugged into the internet port. I plugged it
into a LAN port and everything works again. I'd swear I had
it plugged into the internet port before.<br>

Just like HM said, you are going 1000mph in no direction
with a 1000 posts. With that being said, all I know from
this whole thread is that you are having computer
weirdness, you think your router is broke, and this all
happened after you moved your computer. Additionally,
even though all this is occurring, you still can post to
this message list so you have Internet on some device is
some form. When others have posted questions, you have
either moved your questions in a different direction,
partially answered them, or not answered them at all.
This cannot continue if you wish someone to help you
move forward. People will go silent in response.<br>
<br>
Maybe some illustrations would help in describing how
your are connected and what is working and not working.
You need to go back to basics (Use the OSI model to
troubleshoot moving from the Physical layer up to the
Application layer). Examples of questions to ask
yourself and put in your message could include but is
not be limited to...<br>
<br>
1. Describe the model of your router(s) including tags
so we know which router(s) you are speaking of since I
know you have at least 2 from everything you have said.<br>
2. What devices are plugged into which ports of your
router(s) including any interconnects?<br>
3. What are the status lights on your
router(s)/switch(es)/Network Card(s)?<br>
4. What IP address are you expecting?<br>
5. Are any devices working on your network? Getting out
to the Internet or getting an IP? What port on what
router are they plugged into? Which router are they
plugged into?<br>
6. If you isolate your computer and router (nothing else
plugged in, including the modem), Do you get an IP
address from the router?<br>
7. Have you verified that the DHCP client software is
installed and running on the network interface card of
your computer?<br>
8. Do you have any known good computer that you can test
from, knowing that from previous posts you thought it
could be your computer?<br>
9. Does your Internet work if you plug directly into the
modem with your computer?<br>
10. Have you verified with your Internet Service
provider that your Internet is working properly?<br>
<br>
Please do not just inline post a response. Put some
thought into it and respond with something easy to read
by someone without experience with your network. I
cannot help you otherwise.<span><font color="#888888"><br>
