Sounds like you have incorrect subnet mask settings in your router or computer(s). You should most likely have your subnet set to 255.255.255.0 on your PC's behind your router. That's assuming you're using Network Address Translation on your router to minimize the number of IP addresses you have to reserve for your subnet. If not, you will need to set an exact subnet mask depending on the number of IP's your subnet has. This can be somewhat complex for someone who has never done it before and I would get your service providers help. They should know all the proper settings. The subnet mask tells the computer which packets are actually going to destinations on the subnet and which ones get forwarded to the gateway address to go outside the subnet.
Our subnet for IP 24/129.134.18 is 255.255.255.252.
The router uses that.

In all PC's config, the IP is the 192.168.x.x and subnet of 255.255.255.0.
The Gateway is the router- 192.168.1.1.

Still need some help! [img]smile.gif[/img]
