Hi everyone,

I am new to this forum and am hoping you all can help me. I am the computer administrator at a small school. Last week I disassembled our computer lab which consists of:

12 Emachine computers
16 port switch
Linksys wireless router
Linksys 4 port switch
a router (Action-Tec)


I am the one who originally set all this (years ago) up but now can't get the computers to connect to the internet. I didn't move or unplug the router (it's in the office). On assembly, I set up all the computers, plugged each one into the switch with Cat5 cable, connected the 4 port switch and the wireless router to the switch. The wireless works fine but the wired computers won't connect. I did the usual correct order of powering up (router first, then switches then computers) The computers aren't getting ip addresses.

What am I doing wrong? I'm tired of wrestling with this.

Thanks in advance,

D
