Right, so there's a possible issue there, that they're somehow set up wrong (firewalls/corrupt networking/set to a static IP).

What OS combinations are you using on all this kit?

If you've got that many devices that you might want to connect, a router really is going to save you a lot of effort. Get a wireless one and you'll never need to plug the laptops in again.

What's the MAC address of the modem? It's underneath it on a sticker. I can see which devices are in the modem's MAC cache from that.
