How to 2 that Is that the proper way?? If anyone needs help in configuring and installign ZEBRA router lemme know. Thank you. Fahad |
It seems odd that you cannot always ping a machine, occasionally this will happen if the machine has been set up with some kind of power saving/sleep features - you can usually turn these off in the BIOS.
If you would really like a secure lan then you either need physical seperation using 2 switches or using a switch that supports vlans. I'm not sure if your switch supports that since I'm not familiar with that model but it should be in the manual if it does. |
