I have pure TCPIP ethernet network consisting of one Windows 2000 server and three Window 2000 Professional. Internet access is provide by Verizon DSL modem and a Linksys DSL router/4 port switch. When I connect my Fluke Network one touch diagnosis tool, I see alot of broadcast such as 80 to 100 percent. The DSL router acts as a DHCP and assinges IP address of 192.168.1.* with subnet mast of 255.255.255.0. This router also acts as a Gateway. Currently all stations are connected to the Linksys DSL router/switch.
Every now and then accessing file and printer on the server as well as accessing the internet becomes extremely slow. The last change I made was to make all stations network cards from auto sensing to 100 full duplex and on the server from hardware seclect to 100 full duplex.
When I connect my Fluke Network tester to any of the stations I see to IP addresses one on the local 192.168.1.* and another on 169.254.*.* networks. But when I look at the IPCONFIG I only see one address on the 192.168.1.*. Any idea please?
