I have a small problem with my network connection at home. It works fine for both computers accessing the internet, but I cannot share files/printers and the recognition of the network slows both computers boot time abominably, it takes a few minutes to recognize the connection. My LAN connection is always reported as having limited or no connectivity as well.
My desktop is using the onboard network adapter. It’s reported as a VIA Rhine II Fast Ethernet adapter. This is the motherboard my system has http://www.biostar-usa.com/mbdetails.asp?model=u8668+d
I’m connecting to this D-Link switch http://www.dlink.com/products/?sec=1&pid=69
Any help at all is appreciated, I’m pretty much a network novice.
