Replaced network switch
I just had to replace Modem router 2 motherboards & internet switch due to hurricane harvey. The switch was the last item and I have found that I can no longer connect shared folders etc. through windows explorer. I probably shouldn't say this but I work on computers for people who cannot afford to pay for retail help and this has got me stumped. Over the years I have used many setups and switched components without much problem but this switch has got me. It is a Netgear FS205 v.2.0 and runs off of it's own power adapter. I have checked & rechecked the settings on all 5 of my Windows 7 computers & they are set right, my ZoneAlarm extreem Security is the same for years no changes other than the netgear dual band router arris surfboard sb 6141 modem & they replaced identical or simular units. Any ideas are sincerely appreciated.
