I'm having the exact same problem. My network was working absolutely fine up until
a few weeks ago, when I began to be unable to access shared files on the secondary
computer from the primary. The internet still worked.
About a week ago, the users of the second computer complained their internet wasn't
working either. They received the "Automatic Private Address" in their LAN settings,
where I was still getting "Assigned by DHCP".
So now, the home network doesn't work on either computer, and the cable connection
doesn't work on the second computer. I've tried just about every trick I could pull
out my ass. I'm starting to wonder if my Switch went bad; it's 3 years old, so that's
a possibility. But why would it still have no trouble sending data to my computer?
This is driving me nuts.
I should note that my configuration is this: Each computer has a 10/100 NIC, the
computers run CAT 5 cable to a 10/100 5-port switch, and the switch runs a 10/100
crossover cable to the cable modem. I'm paying for 2 IPs through my Cable provider.
Anybody have any clues out there?
