Hi People, Today I found a network problem which being fixed but I can not explain why/how. So if someone can enlightening me, would be much appreciated
Network situation: Level 4 in the building 1 network router 192.168.1.1 (gateway and DHCP server) 1 Debian file/print server 192.168.1.2 5 windoz Xp 2 Printers 1 gigabit switch 16 ports (lets call it G1) Level 5 in the building 3 windoz Xp 1 gigabit switch 16 ports (G2) Level 5 is a new office, where I need to connect the share drive from Debian using samba (via webmin) after connecting 2 PC successfully, all of a sudden, all network are down. Debian can not even ping router, no workstation able to open share drives, ping to each other Then I found out that there are 2 LAN cable connected between G1 and G2, port 15 and 16 connected each other Although after I disconnect port 15 on both switches everything looks OK, that was on 4:30, where only 3 people left in the office My humble confusion is Is that THE reason (that 2 ports connected both G1 and G2) why suddenly the network gone bizzard? I need to re-check it next 2 days, but I want to make sure I won't be screaming to the cable installer wrong thing Cheers -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
