Being a programmer for 9 years now I still don't have a clue about
these networks :)
I bought a linksys 5-port workgroup switch about a year ago and
it works great, it gives each of my 3 computers connected to the switch
their own IP address (not private ip addresses). The problem I have
is that i'm developing an application and it has to connect to one of
the computers on my network.. but i can't connect to or from any of
the computers on the Switch. I can't even ping the IPs.. all of the
systems have windows xp pro and the built in firewall is disabled.
so can anyone help? is there a built in firewall in the switch or how
do I go about getting computers on the switch to send and receive
packets from each other. Anything excluding use of proxies :P
Thanks !
