Having a bit of a problem with my network at the moment, wonder if anyone can help?

My setup -

ADSL broadband - BT
Gateway - Netgear
Wireless Access Point - 3COM office connect

1 Windows Box and two linux boxes(mandrake 8.2)

Until recently i have been running 1 windows & 1 linux box with no problem, until i added another linux box the other day. When i installed the second linux box i found that i could not access the internet or access the router via 192.168.0.1 but could access the other computers on the network, web server and the such.
Had the same problem a few weeks ago as well when i tried to get my windows laptop to access the internet but could not, once again though could access the samba network.

Not sure but think it is the router thats the problem, might try and restore it to factory setting tonight and reconfiure it.

Anyone had any problems like this before and know the solution?

Sounds to me like the boxes that you are plugging in have the same IP addy's as your router, have you looked into that?

Not to sure what you mean, all the boxes use dhcp except for one which is static due to it being my web/ftp server.

Hi,

you should check your gateway config on the 2 PC that don't work, since they access the LAN but not the rest of the world...
check also their DNS config, maybe they can access the Web but may not resolve names...
