Hi, I have 2 XP and 1 W7 pc's all on a network, they all talk to each other fine and exchange files via a 4 port switcher connected to a single router
The 2 XP pc's can get the internet when connected at the same time
The W7 pc can get the internet when connected on its own
BUT
No pc can get the internet when all 3 are connected to the switch
All professional versions of each software
I suspect the W7 setup,, any ideas please.
Thanks
Hi Chev, thanks for your quick response
Here is the printout from running ipconfig on each machine when connected.
Cant tell you a make of the switch its a simple 4port box with 4 RJ connectors. 3 to the pc's and one to a BT internet 3 router
Not quiet sure why the printouts for the two XP machines are so different but each is copied here in full (I added the pc names

Odds are, you can find the brand and model of your router by going to http://192.168.1.254 See this page for an explanation: http://compnetworking.about.com/od/w...68-1-254-d.htm
The webpage that should come up will have a brand name and model on the opening page. Once you have that information, you should be able to find the default username and password at the manufacturer's support page.
One thing I'm wondering is, is the connection to your modem the same as all of the other ports, or is there a specific port that is marked for the modem? I would be surprised if it plugged into the same type of port as all the rest of your devices.
Sorry, maybe I did not explain clearly, the 3 pc's each plug into a Simple 4way local RJ45 box marked 4 port switch, the 4th port GOES to a BT home hub router that has 3 RJ45 connectors, one from the local PC Switcher the other two from satellite PVR's, the PVR's and 2 other the pc's all access the internet fine. The 3 pc's all talk to each other fine. My problem is, when I plug the Windows 7 pc NONE of the pc's can access the internet, when I plug the Windows 7 pc into the local switcher on its own and unplug the other two pc's, that third W7 pc can get the internet.
I'm a bit confused on the network arrangement.
I don't see how the Windows 7 machine would bring down the entire network unless it's not being plugged into the correct port location but the description of this network has me a bit confused. Local PC switcher?
OK, I have actually found the manufacturer of the "switch" the 3 pc's are plugged into.
Ethernet Switch/5-port Fast Ethernet Switch Ethernet Switch Manufacturer & Wholesale Supplier From Taiwan - Pro-Nets Technology Corp.
It is the ES3105CH4 Full Duplex Ethernet Switch a 4th cable goes from this switch to the BT router.
Remember ALL pcs can talk to each other when all 3 are plugged into the switch (file exchange etc)
all 3 pc's can get the internet ok just NOT when all 3 are plugged in together the two XP pc's are ok together, the W7 Pc is ok on its own
Thanks for your assistance
It sounds like something isn't plugged in correctly or the router is having problems. This despite the fact that they are all showing a valid IP in the correct subnet.
Have you tried rebooting or resetting the router?
re-Booted router no difference, had an idea and looked in events and found this:
The IP address lease 192.168.1.73 for the Network Card with network address 0x0023548A956F has been denied by the DHCP server 192.168.1.254 (The DHCP Server sent a DHCPNACK message).
Am using said W7 pc but without the other 2 pc's connected to the my network.
