[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 1331234, member: 38928"] Here's some info and setting up the Windows PC and Mac to use dynamically assigned IPs from the router. If your settings are already like this then we can look at the router settings in due course. On your PC 1. go to Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center. 2. In the "View Your Active Networks" section, select Local Area Connection. 3. Go to Properties - The Local Area Connection Properties window will display 4. Highlight Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click on Properties - The Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties window will display 5. Click Obtain an IP address automatically 6. Click obtain a DNS server automatically 7. Click OK etc until you've dismissed all screens. 8. Restart the PC On your Mac 1. Open System Preferences 2. Click the Network icon 3. From the Location drop-down list - select Automatic 4. Select Ethernet 5. Select Using DHCP for Configure IPv4: pull down menu 6. Click Apply 7. Restart your Mac [/QUOTE]
