i have a LAN at home which consists of:
my PC which has two LAN cards. one takes the cable internet and the other goes to my moms pc. we share the internet connection and the ISP knows about it. we pay a bit extra for this.
the problem is that there are times , at least once in three days that i cannot connect to my moms pc or rather she cannot acess mine to get online.
the connections are always alive. the connection in my pc, called HOME has the IP: 192.168.0.1 and subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
when her connection is "dead" viz on but does not recieve any packets, her IP is : 169.254.200.137 and subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
when her connection suddenly feels like it, starts recieving and sending packets her IP is 192.168.something.something
another thing- somtimes in her PC if i disable and re enable the connection i can establish the connection but everytime i disable and then re enable , i get that red cross over the connection, error saying that the cable is unplugged. after a few seconds the cross disappears and the conn is on. whether its alive or not depends on its mood.
so whats goin on?
i repeat this happens once in three days, its not that my cable is cut or the card is gone. but its really getting on my nerves now
