The setup
6 computers
1 Linksys BEFSR4 (the 4 port router, version 2).
1 Surecom 8 port switch.
1 Cable modem
Many category 5 wires, some straight, some cross-overs.
Each computer has Windows XP Pro installed.
The works
3 computers are connected to the Linksys router.
1 cable goes from the cable modem, to the router.
1 cable goes from the router, to the switch.
3 computers are connected to the switch.
All 6 computers are on the same Workgroup.
All 6 computers share either folders, or whole partitions.
All 6 computers have access to the internet.
1 computer, is on 24/7. It hosts an FTP server with "Bulletproof FTP Server".
This computer also hosts an HTTP server with IIS 5 from Microsoft.
Both the FTP and HTTP have low traffic.
To allow people to access both the FTP and the HTTP, I'm using the no-ip.com client (cause I have a dynamic IP)
Also, my ISP is blocking port 80, so I got an http: redirect (again from no-ip.com).
The problem
All was running fine for about 3 days. Then something happened. God knows what. One morning, The internet wasn't working for any computer.
So I did the basic plug/unplug/reset tests. My Internet connection was fine, meaning the problem was with my network.
My router couldn't get an IP. It stayed at 0.0.0.0 or sometimes when I reset it, it got an IP of 192.168.1.102 (or similar).
To get it working again, I had to plug only the modem, then plug 1 computer at a time.
So now, I made the necessary adjustments to allow traffic to both my FTP and HTTP (the IP had changed for the server).
I don't know why, but now, when I try to access the HTTP, I get a pop-up window that asks for the login and password (the same pop-up as when you try to connect to your router to configure it).
If I enter the login/pass, my pictures on the Bulletin Boards will work, but if I press cancel, they won't show up.
Anyone knows the solution?
