Title: Internet issue
Post by: Sorunome on March 17, 2014, 12:46:37 pm

So here is the situation:
I get internet if I connect my lappy directly with the router, but not over the switch. Other computers also get internet over the switch.
I tried re-booting both, router and switch.

On my end I use archlinux and, now, NetworkManager, but it didn't work with dhcpcd either.
Any ideas how to fix it?

What does ifconfig say? Is the link up? It may be an issue with MDIX.

Archlinux uses ip addr instead of ifconfig.

What does "ip addr show" say, then?

Ok, problem solved: apparently the "router" wasn't a router after all, it was merely a modem, thus the random issues with more than one connection.

Modem implies dial up. :P
A router is merely a bridge between networks. Dhcp etc. are something else that is built in most routers though.
