I have 3 pc\'s. 1 running smoothwall and 2 running mandrake 9.0. I can connect either mandrake pc to the smoothwall pc via crossover cable and can ping the smoothwall box and access its admin web pages with my browser. All OK there.
I have purchased a Sky Link Net 1008 8 port N-Way Fast Ethernet Switch and 3 Cat 5 UTP cables. When I connect all 3 pcs via this Switch ( the Smoothwall box on the uplink port and the mandrake boxes on any port from 2 to 8) I cannot access the smoothwall box by ping or by browser. Am I correct in assuming that I have either a bad Switch or at leasr 2 bad Cat 5 cables?
