"Could the auto-negotiate depend on the order in which things are turned on?" In a decade of working intensively with speeds of ethernet, I have never seen this to be the case. Auto-neg is a sold standard that has been very well tested and implemented. Any network device made in at least the past

It could be as Neal suggests an auto-negotiate problem. This system was working and then with no physical changes, stopped working. Could the auto-negotiate depend on the order in which things are turned on? Bill On Thu, Jul 31, 2014 at 12:40 AM, Neal wrote: > Minor point -- the WRT54G is als

For general knowledge purposes, 192.168.0.0 is the subnet address and 192.168.0.255 is the broadcast address for that subnet. The subnet address is used in routing tables and the broadcast address would be used by a computer configured for DHCP to send out a DHCP request to find a DHCP server. -Mi

192.168.0.0/24 is a broadcast address which if the dhcp is configured to hand out 192.168.0.0 is a mistake. I don't know if the software is smart enough to know that it shouldn't hand out a broadcast address. Also Gigabit normally indicates auto-negotiation. If something is set to use a specific

Do you maybe have an IP conflict? doing 192.168.0 seems odd to me. I'm not in charge of my home network, but it appears the the modem sets the 0 subnet, and everything else (printers, computers, whatever) lives on 192.168.1.0, set by our Netgear router. Also, you say you have it set to use x=0

Minor point -- the WRT54G is also not gigabit. :-) Major question -- do you have any of the switches or devices set to a specific speed or are they all auto-negotiate? NealS ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman
