Hello guys,
I want to say sorry in advance because I know I'm an absolute noob and probably sound retarded but I desperately need your help/assistance!!
I have the following computer hardware:
Five computers: two working as clients (used daily) and two working as servers (no monitors but have remote access). One is almost completely separate apart from being connected to the Netgear router
16 Port unmanaged fast Ethernet switch
Printer
(Avaya IP office telephone system which I don't think is relevant but thought I'd mention)
Netgear router
So here's the problem, I had this network/set up running all smooth lovely and I decided to upgrade the separate computer (computer 1) from XP to win8 (don't ask!). Once done I couldn't get win8 to give me a internet connection on this computer kept saying limited access. I done almost everything I could think of and was suggested to do with Win8, Nothing! Because I have a static IP I decided to get in to the router to get the IP address and check the settings to make sure this wasn't the issue.. I forgot the router password, so like a genius I decided to reset the router! Now with a reset router computer 1 has got internet access but the remaining four computers do not! I've tried changing the Local Area Connection TCP\IPv4 settings on the Servers -1 & -2 but every time I do this the clients disconnect the program that I need running 24/7s leaving me sweating to get them up and running again.
I'm sure its the router settings that need changing as I do not want to tamper or adjust any of the IPs on the clients and servers and because they were working fine before It only makes sense that the router rules or forwarding is wrong!!
PLLLEEEAAASSE help me lol I don't which information is sensitive so if theres any more information you guys need please let me know!
