I am still experiencing a rather strange situation that I cannot seem to resolve.
I have four machines and one cell phone that connect via the router to the internet. 1 x Vista, 1 x Windows 2000, 2 x Windows XP and 1 x Windows Mobile 6 Professional.
Two of the machines, the Vista and Windows 2000 machines are fine with full internet connectivity and no problems.
The other three, 2 x XP and 1 x Mobile are giving me problems. These are the symptoms;
• When I try to browse any it starts downloading the page and then stops and carries on trying indefinitely without timing out,
• I am able to ping, tracert, ftp and telnet to sites but cannot open the page in IE or Firefox,
• I am able to sync my mail on my mobile but it will not open and webpages either,
• The AVG anti virus updates start and then hangs and finally time out.
If I then connect the wireless modem to the WAN port on the hub and not the router and then manually change the ip and gateway of the machines, it works perfectly.
I am using an DHCP pool on the router and it issues leases to all the machines.
Does XP use a different port or config when connecting to the internet?
Is there a "feedback" rule I need to create for the XP machines on the router?
I have no idea what else to do and I am not well versed with Cisco!!
