DI-614+ router connection problems with multiple computersHi all, looking for some help in setting up a home network. The system is
set up as follows: Cable modem connected to WAN port of a DI-614+ D-Link wireless router, via an ethernet cable. Two computers connected to ports 1 and 2 of the router, also via a ethernet cable. When 1 cable only is connected, internet is functional on that computer. However, when 2 cables are connected, the router goes haywire, and on both computers it connects/disconnects frequently (every few seconds) and does this via displaying the 'a network cable is unplugged' message on screen. Any thoughts on how I might rectify this situation? posting the results of both computers' ipconfig /all here may help.

Try connecting the computers to a different pair of ports. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.
