Any Network Techs?

07-31-2009, 05:49 AM

So I am in dire need of a quick help from a Network Tech. I have a few EXTREMELY choice sticks to trade for a network tech that can hop into chat and give me a few pointers.

Long & Short:
I just upgraded pretty much every piece of tech in our small office (5 new PCs, 1 New Color Laser Printer, All new monitors, etc.) The kicker is that I also got a new switch for our network which has always worked rather adhoc through a sonic wall firewall that had 5 ports. I got a 16 port Cisco Small Business Unmanaged Switch and now all my IP addresses are all over the board and no device can discover the rest of the network...

HELP!

Make sure you use a crossover cable from the Sonicwall to the switch.

The problem was solved by Mr. LeoM this morning, and it was the Sonicwall that was throwiing out the DHCP numbers.
