NT4 Server, SMC 1024DT 10/100 Switch, Win98 clients with 10/100 nics. TCP/IP, NetBEUI, &
IPX/SPX protocols. TCP address range 192.168.123.xxx. Some PC’s will not connect to 1024 switch but work fine on our old SMC 10mbps switch which we want to move up from.
One PC works fne on 1024 switch in 1 location but move it to new location, no connection, despite changing cables & connectors. In all cases nic link led lights and 1024 switch leds for port light,
but activity led doesn’t. Client self loop ping 127.0.0.1 passes. Ping to server times out, as with other clients. Maximum distance involved is about 20 meters max.
Could anyone please shed some light on why this might be?
Nic’s are nearly all Trident TX.
