[QUOTE="ArkaneArkade, post: 1499349, member: 282512"] Hey guys, I'm hoping somebody can help me because I'm really, really at my wits end. I've been put in charge of the network at a local youth center where I volunteer, and I'm getting pressured to fix problems although I don't have the slightest clue what I'm doing. We use a network of macs - a MacBook, a MacBook Pro, and multiple iMacs. All of them are running 10.5+. The problem we are having is that if there are multiple computers on, the internet grinds to a halt. I've contacted the ISP about this, who assure me that everything is perfect, and all the problems must be caused by the computer settings. We have recieved a new router from them, but the same thing does still happen. As the nature of the network is for the young people, obviously no internet is a huge issue. Personally, I'm of the opinion that it is still BT to blame, but I have no power to change the ISP as I'd desire (especially considering that so many months without service seems like a reason to automatically change it to me), and my suggestion is being ignored until all avenues have been exhausted. Can anybody give any suggestions to anything that may cause this? I am intending to reinstall the systems to clear up the years of bunk, but if there are settings which may be at fault I will need to avoid them again. One of the iMacs connects via ethernet, however the rest are all wireless. I have locked the wifi network so they are the only devices on it as I believed phones to be causing the issue, however this has solved nothing. If any more info can be given, I'd be more than happy to check it, anything so I can get this working. Cheers guys - ArkaneArkade [/QUOTE]
