There are 4 computers in my house. They have ethernet cables that plug into the wall, and run into the basement to a router where the router hooks up to a motorola cable modem.
Only one computer can get an internet connection. The other computers report that a network connection is unplugged. I checked all the wires from the computer(s) to the wall(s) and the cables down to the basement feeding into and out of the router.
The only computer currently getting internet is running Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04. 2 Computers are running Windows XP and not getting an internet connection, and one computer is running Windows 98 and is not getting an internet connection.
I tried using an Ubuntu Live CD on the non-functioning computers to see if the OS might be causing the problem somehow, but none of the other computers could get an internet connection from the Ubuntu Live CD.
I figure its not the router itself cause one computer is still getting a connection. So I figure its impossible for the problem to be the router or the modem. Any ideas?
