Hi, I've got a problem connecting more than four devices simultaneously to our home LAN.
I've just renovated and installed cat 6 cable throughout house and up till recently only ever had no fewer than 4 devices connected.
Network related hardware consists of
■ Netgear DG834GV Integrated ADSL(2+) Modem and (4 port) Wireless Router with voice http://kb.netgear.com/app/products/model/a_id/2327
■Netgear GS116 Prosafe 16 port gigabyte unmanaged switch http://www.netgear.com/Products/Switches/DesktopSwitches/GS116.aspx
Connected as: ISP -> DG834GV -> DS116 (DG834GV port 1 patched into port 16 of DS116)
Devices connected to switch
■ 4 notebooks
■ Icybox NAS
■ SAGE STP-HD200 media player
■ Netgear PS121 print server
In addition, there are two wireless PDA devices that I was hoping to connect via wireless to DG834GV .
DG834GV config page reports 4 attached devices. These devices can access internet. Additional device connection attempts fail...
Using a notebook that fails internet connection I have confirmed that no IP address has been allocated (ipconfig -all)
I would expect that the router should be assigning IP addresses using DHCP for devices connected to switch and I've spent half a day googling for possible solutions to no avail. Any assistance is greatly appreciated...
cheers
