Fixed IP - No network
We have a network with a number of PC's. Until recently all PC's were WinXP and all set for fixed IP. All PC's accessable over the network and Internet connections working
Now we have installed Win7 on one of the PC's and only when this PC is set for dynamic IP everything works as before. As soon as the Win7 PC is set for a fixed IP this PC becomes inaccessable on the network, however the Internet connection works.
The router is D-Link DIR-615. Fixed IP's all outside routers DHCP range and firewall off.
Sharing is on and if there was anything wrong with these settings the PC's wouldn't be accessable with a dynamic IP ?
Sometimes when I change from dynamic to fixed IP I have connection, but as soon as I reboot I am back to square one.
Have checked this forum for solutions and it seems I am not the only with this problem, but fail to find a solution.
Greatful for suggestions
