Heres my setup:
I have a Linksys BEFSR11 ver.2. It has one port going out.Connected to that I have an Apoen AOW-608 8 port switch.The computers in my home run directly off that Aopen switch.One of the ports off of the Aopen is going to another switch,which is a linksys 8 port switch model #PROMOS52.The linksys switch runs my folding farm which needs 7 ports.
Here is my problem:
First thing I noticed is the constant "chatter" on the linksys switch,The lights flicker non-stop.98SE will work to connect to the internet but I tried a linux sever which would not.At least once a week I have to shut down my setup and restart all my 98SE mach to get them back online,they lose there DCHP client.Thats what I'm trying to fix.
I've tried using the switches in different orders,new cables,linux server,others I just dont remember anymore.
Questions:
If I get a 4 port router and run swithes off separate ports will that work?
Do I need a different brand of router?(was looking at linksys BEFSR41)
Is there something that my router needs that the current one does not support?
Do I need to take up target shooting,I heard that can be fun(lol j/k,just alittle frustrated)
Ideas?comments? or better yet a solution.
Thanks in advance,I hope this is clear enough to get some help.I never was the best at explainations.
