Now only one computer will work, and as we reboot the router/modem, the computer that works changes. Plz don't advise me to get wireless router, or a new one. This was working, nothing changed, but now its not....I need advice how to get this working, FOR DUMMIES plz, (I'm the dummy) not advice on what new hardware to buy. Thanks.
I have one older router, 3 way, right now trying to get it to work. Earlier we had 2 computers on at once. I have an 8 way router that I used to have working here, with these computers, that was working last week....but now when I plug it in with these computers, NOTHING works...so I went back to the 3 way router and now one computer only works. And which one works, changes....if you switch cat 5 cables around, the same computer will work(be connected to the internet). I want the 8 way router up there working because more computers are coming soon...but for tonight I"d be tickled to get these 3 computers working on EITHER router
The 8 way that worked fine last week, but was disconnected for a week is a Linksys. What is baffling is that all 3 computers can tell you a network cable is unplugged, but only one is providing internet access at any one time.
LOL
Unplugged everything from Router. Unplugged Router and Modem. Plugged Router and Modem in, plugged modem into router, then 3 cat 5 cables.
2 computers now have internet access.
(sigh) and even BIGGER sigh that this is all with the small router, not my Linksys 8way router which I need running up there...when I put it up, nothing worked.
Answer
To start off with. Are we 100% sure that these devices are routers, and not switches. 8 port routers are not uncommon, but not as common as 8 port switchs.
If it were a switch, and only one computer was grabing the ip address from the modem, that would explain why only one computer could get online at a time. I have seen switchs work with two computers for a short time before. Afterwards, you will get a message, "Limited or no connectivity" at the bottom of the screen. Also, if anything has changed, that would be helpful to know. Did you just switch from Cable internet to DSL? Or did you change out the DSL modem? If the DSL modem was changed out, and not put in what is called bridgemode, this problem may not come up as an issue until all 3 computers are actually on and trying to access the Internet. (Putting the modem in bridge mode tells the Router it is in charge of establishing the credential info w/ ISP, not the modem. If modem is in charge of this, it may only have the ability to handle one computer on the Lan side of the network.)
Let's start off and assume that you do have routers. Here are some things to check:
1. is the router plugged into a Uninteruptible Power Supply? (I have seen many drop off and connection issues solved with this little piece of heaven. I know you are sceptical about purchasing new hardware, but this should be a pre-requisit for all devices that have any kind of value.)
2. If you are cabable I would read the instructions for your router, and reset it back to factory settings. You may want to write down the existing settings before you do this. (if it is connected to DSL, your username and password, Cable, if it is a static or DHCP wan address etc. etc.) Once back up and running, download the latest firmware from the manufacturer. This would require Internet activity.
3. As was stated earlier, let's connect each computer directly to the back of the modem and check for connectivity. (If the modem was previously set to be in Bridge mode, you will have to change it to be in charge of handling the logon creditials. This usual setting is PPPOE)
Once the computer is connected to the modem, you need to power cycle the components so that they grab new IP addresses from each other. Power off Modem and computer, plug modem in first, let all lights quit blinking then power on computer. If computer is unable to connect, it could be modem issue. But let's not rule out other things.
a. Check the network settings on the computer. Right mouse click on My Network Places and go to Properties. From there right mouse click on the Lan Properties and go to properties there. Click on TCP/IP and hit the Properties button there. Check to make sure the adaper is set to obtain IP address automatically. And the DNS the same.
4. If all computers are set to obtain an IP automatically as described in step 3-a. and they are hooked up the a factory default router, with known good cables, they should be able to at least ping each other. Disable all Norton Internet Security, and Macafee Internet Security and Zone Alarm (Some of these actually block ICMP request so we wouldn't be able to ping the computers) Go to computer 1 . Start --> Run. type CMD and hit enter. type "ipconfig /all" leave off quotes write down the ip address that it assigns you. If you have the Linksys router setup, and it is set to default factory settings, it will probably assign you an address of 192.18.1.100 or close. Go to another computer. Start --> Run type "cmd" and hit enter. type "ping 192.168.1.100" or what ever number that was listed. if you get a reply, that means you are able to pass traffic through the router to the other computer. if you get request timed out that means you are not able to connect.
5. If after reseting the router to factory settings you are unable to ping the other computers on the network, but able to connect to the Internet throught the modem directly, your router is most likely the culprit. I have seen routers loosing their configs and not working correctly until they have been restored to factory defaults.
I am tired of typing now, but that is pretty much the jist of what to look for. There are some other things too look for, like spyware or corrupt TCP/IP stacks,

Extreme Cowboy Race---any info would be appreciated?
Q. I recently have been invited to participated in a local version of the extreme cowboy race (same as the one featured on RFDtv) I have plenty of riding experience and I am very excited to participate. However, to be honest I don't know exactly what it is all about. I don't have access to high speed Internet or cable so watching it on the computer or tv is not applicable. I'm just asking for any information, opinions, and first hand accounts of the race. thanks in advance
I do have a basic outline of what I am volunteering to do though.
WOW! the answers have been so excellent so far!

GOOD LUCK!!!!
The 'Extreme Cowboy Race' is a timed race with obstacles designed to not only push horse and rider out of their traditional comfort zone, but also test the communication and horsemanship of each team. Judges award points based on a set of five criteria: 1. Horsemanship, 2. Cadence, 3. Control, 4. Horse's attitude, and 5. Overall execution. The first round of competition features 15 horse-and-rider teams. The top eight competitors move on to Round 2 for another set of competition. The top four competitors then advance to Round 3 for an all-out race to the finish and the title of 'Extreme Cowboy.'
THE RACE COURSE:
The race course will be constructed within the parameters of the Coliseum and will feature obstacles similar to those featured in previous races as well as several new obstacles designed specifically for the race at Equine Affaire. The course may include obstacles and activities such as: saddling the horse, dragging logs, jumping obstacles, loading into a trailer, backing up through a pattern, pole bending or roll backs, navigating a log jumble, penning cattle and working gates, conquering dirt terrain, crossing water obstacles, etc.
OBJECTIVES AND JUDGING:
The Extreme Cowboy Race is a timed event during which the performance of each horse and rider team will be judged on each obstacle for quality of horsemanship. Judges will award points on a scale of 1-10 for the horse and riderâs performance through each obstacle based on the following criteria: horsemanship, cadence, control, horseâs attitude, and overall execution. Horses and riders will be required to complete each obstacle within a given time in order to receive points. If an obstacle is not completed within the given timeframe, the contestant will be flagged and must move on to the next obstacle. Times are translated into points, with the highest overall score winning the race.
