Laurent, The router may be set to DHCP but are all the Macs set to use DHCP?
If they are set up as static that can obviously be the problem. Or, if there is something wrong with the router that may be the problem. I've not heard good things about D-Link in that regard. Check all the settings and let us know. Also, why a switch and a router? --- Laurent Daudelin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello list. > > I've been having an annoying problem for the last > few weeks.
