It's all in the configuration and not anything easily explained through wording as so many variables exist.

thanks for coming on line
the problem is that when i connect the internet to the 3 COM Switch the LAN does not work
i have assigned IP add as 196.168.1.11 to 196.168.1.21 for the workstation's
& auto IP to the server
is it ok

 

Depends on the equipment, DHCP may choose something that causes duplicate IPs.

As with all initial network setups you need to start with the bare minimum then add components one at a time.

 

pl explane me in little breafe if u can
what DHCP?

 

sir
3COM switch have 24+1 25 RJ45 Port's

I found one of these 24 port switches where I used to work used for one PC, I'm guessing because they ran out of long network cables.

Have you tried connecting to the switch via telnet to check it's configuration? It may be set up funny. How to is in the document you attached.

sir,
01> All the wires are less then 20 ft's
02> how to connect to the telnet to check it's configuration (Have you tried connecting to the switch via telnet to check it's configuration?)

what ? (How to is in the document you attached.)

 

Sorry, i meant the instructions are in the user guide to the switch. The IP address of the switch should be printed on it, go to the start menu, click run and type telnet.
The exact settings I can't help you with (there's a reason network engineers get paid $$$s).

 

One of the first things I do in troubleshooting networks (which I try to avoid) is to try and ping the other machines. If you know how to do a ping, do so, and tell us if you can connect to any of the machines.

 

thanks
we r able to get 5 PC in LAN
still working on it


GOD made the MAN;
MAN made the ELECTRONICS ;
with the ELECTRONICS MAN made the COMPUTER
with the COMPUTERS MAN made the NETWORK (LAN)
with the NETWORKS( LAN's) MAN made the INTERNET(WAN)
with the INTERNET(WAN's) MAN made !@#$%%^^&*(*()_+_|????????????
still struggling for the INVENTIONS from the INNOVATIONS

hates off to all those pupil's (like u on the ALL ABOUT CIRCUITS)

THANKS

 

Try typing 192.168.1.1 in the web browser of one of the machines (preferably the first machine).
This will tell you if you are connecting to the gateway device.
..
your gateway address could be 192.168.0.1
..
the 192 will get you into the router
the 168 should get you into the router subnet switch
the 1.1 (or 0.1,) will get you into the router's console.
...
If this doesn't work - look for the IP on the switch -
it will be similar to this scheme.
You don't type http://
and you don't need to type www either.
an IP address is just that - a number scheme.
..
Let me know how this works
