I’ll try to describe this easily as possible. I am a surveillance tech. I have an unmanaged network that I use for video transfers from dvr’s to computers. The network consists of a “Master” computer, 3 slaves, and 70 dvr’s. All IP addresses are set automatically, there are no duplicated addresses (I have triple checked). When I run just the “master” computer and 1 slave the network works fine, however if I try to add more than 1 slave ( and according to Sanyo I should be able to ) I start getting network errors. Sanyo has made several suggestions all of which I tried and nothing seems to solve this issue. Any suggestions?
Master computer address is 168.192.0.251
submask is 255.255.252.0, the slaves are the same except they are 252, 253, 254 respectively. All are submask 255.255.252.0 (Submask is set by Sanyo specs).

One last note, this network is not on the internet and uses no firewalls.
