Thread: lan connection setting help needed

hai yesterday i got my airtel broad band.i have connected it to the switch(switch1),in which 2 pcs(pc1,pc2) are connected. there is another switch(switch2) which has 2 pcs(pc3,pc4).

pc1 is a server.
all other pcs connect to the server for central storage.
the modem is connected to switch1.
pc1 and pc2 can access the internet
pc3,pc4 cannot connect the internet
switch2 connects to one of the ports of switch1

what shoud i do to make pc3,pc4 to connect to net

have you configured your modem in PPPoE mode.. is DHCP server on??? are pc3 and pc4 able to get an ip?

how do i check that??
in all the pcs i have manually configured the ips

ip address 192.168.1.201 to 204
subnetmask 255.255.255.0
default gateway 192.168.1.1

primary dns 192.168.1.1

the modem was configured by the airtel guys

Enter the same in the modem lan page DHCP server. enabled
All computers
Start/ Network / LAN
properties
TCP/IP
properties
Obtain IP address automatically
Also
dns
enter 208.67.220.220
and 208.67.222.222
Apply Save.

thank you very much but i have a problem if i do that i cannot acces the server.and some infos i found

those computers which are connected to the switch-1 are getting connected (i used a laptop to check this)
but if i connect the same laptop to the switch-2 it does not get connected.
i had set manually the ips
ip=192 168 1 102
subnetmask = 255 255 255 0
default gateway 192 168 1 1

dns server 192 168 1 1

ONE MORE PC-1 AND PC-2 GETS CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET SINCE IT IS ON THE SAME SWITCH(ie switch-1) that is where the modem is also connected

the PC-3,PC-4 is connected to switch-2 and the switch-2 is connected to switch-1

the modem is connected to the switch-1 directly.

in this way i can connect my server and INTERNET
IF ANY OTHER SETTING

MEANS IT DOES NOT CONNECT TO SERVER

IF YOU COULD TELL ME ANY METHODS WHERE I CAN ACCESS MY NET AS WELL AS MY SERVER (MY SEVER IS WINDOWS 2003) IN THIS WIRED CONFIG PLSEASE HELP

if you have setup static ips then no need of DHCP ips.. can pc3 and pc4 ping pc1 and pc2 locally?

Are you able to PING 192.168.1.1 from PC 3 or 4 ?
