Can anyone help me with my network problem? I added a D-Link Gigabit switch to my network and things start acting up.
My current setup.
Cable mobem -> D-Link router -> 2 switches (LinkSys and D-Link Gigabit).
The LinkSys is connected to the router with a straight cable via uplink port on Linksys. The D-Link Gigabit is also connected with a straight cable. D-Link does not have a separate uplink port. Any computers connected to the Gigabit switch and the router see Internet and network printers, but not the ones on the LinkSys. It worked well before I added the Gigabit. It can be coincident.
My question. Is there a rule on how to setup multiple switches and make any computer talk to each other on either switch?
Thank you.
