Hey guys, I’m the working IT dept. of a small business. When I started we had a horrible 3/4mbps internet connection going through an old router and even older switch and everyone’s connections speeds were mismatched. I got a fiber internet connection in place, upgraded to an ASUS AC66U router, and swapped the switch out for an SG 102-24. So that’s the basic layout of our network. Now I’m experiencing a few problems with what I believe is due to DNS name resolution (please keep in mind I’ve only had one networking class along with hands-on experience, and I’m stuck with this responsibility because I know the most out of anyone here).
My most crucial problem to fix right now is that I have a new computer (HP Pavilion) and I am not able to see ALMOST anything on my network. The computer is connected to the network through the wireless card, and is able to see my NAS, so that leads me to believe that it’s connecting to the network and the switch just fine (the NAS is the only thing with a static IP, and that IP is assigned from a MAC address table in my router, which is acting as my DCHP server). I’ve tried all of the things like turning off the firewall, I have no anti-virus installed (just did a clean wipe and re-installed the OS), turned on Network Discovery and all of those options; none of this has helped.
