Ip problem

[kmoors]

I have cisco soho router 97

with a LAN of 10 computers

I have installed a fixed configuration of ip numbers

192.168.254.1 router

These computers can surf on the internet

192.168.254.2 computer 1

192.168.254.3 computer 3

192.168.254.4 computer 4

192.168.254.5 computer 5

the router is connected to a hub with another 6 computers

192.168.254.6 computer 6

192.168.254.7 computer 7

192.168.254.8 computer 8

192.168.254.9 computer 9

192.168.254.10 computer 10

The computers that have an ip number >192.168.254.7 have problems on working on my LAN

they can acces the lan but after a while they are disconnected, if i restart my PC it runs again for a while

do you know why ?

Hello,

if only one of your machines is affected, it sounds more like a problem with that particular machine. Can you try and check if the cable is connected properly, and maybe replace the network card on the affected machine ?

It is not only one computer but all the computers above the Ip number 192.168.254.7 and if i change a computer that has problems with an Ip above 192.168.254.7 with for example 192.168.254.6 the problems for that computer are solved but i have 10 computers so i must go above the 192.168.254.7.

The funny thing is that it works for sometimes 10 minutes

did you check your subnet mask configuration of router and pcs? It sounds like you are using a 29 bit mask. It provides you a subnet 192.168.254.0 to 192.168.254.7, with usable addresses 192.168.254.1 to 192.168.254.6.

Hai Kmoors ,

Mr.Nihal is very true

Change all the subnet mask including the router to 255.255.255.0,so that you can use the entire range 192.168.254.0.
