Congratulations!

Have you tried:

- Different cable

Welcome to Daniweb.

You need to cover a few bases here.

Simply put, the Linksys router also has a switch built into it. This is how multiple people are able to access the same internet connection. The router transfers information back and forth to the...

Hey Anupkumar!

Not sure about the simulators, but you can do some research on OSPF, EIGRP, BGB, and IS-IS as these are the most common routing protocols used today.

There are many simulators...

Welcome to the forums!

Also, can you do the following (on both computers) and post your output:

Well yes and no. We recently installed new servers, which do not give this error. I figure it was something configured wrong in DNS or DHCP on my behalf; it was my first DC.

go start->run and type cmd; press enter.

please paste the output of this command (when ran on the broken computer):

ipconfig /all

do you have any more information about your network?

Please supply the output (on computerA and computerB) for the following command in command prompt:

Could someone show me a good tutorial on setting up a free vpn?

I've considered purchasing a few of those for the old printers at work. $20 adapter is better than a $200 printer with a nic built in =D

let me know how it goes.

ha, had the same problem at my work place. We just changed our domain from .com to .local

I'm sure your way was more time efficient... =\
