One can connect to a server (laptop) the other cannot (desktop).  Running ping and tracert queries on the desktop reveals that there is a serious lag on a hop.  When the tracert query is run on both computers simultaneously the desktop tracert request simply times out.

The desktop is a brand new build, with only hardware drivers, windows 7 64 and the third party whose server I am trying to connect to.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the network drivers for the NIC.
Why would a network recognize one computer and not the other?  How can a computer that is virtually empty have any issues?  I have no issues connecting to the website and other servers of the third party nor anywhere else on the internet.  There are no antivirus or firewalls installed.
The service provider apparently is not linked to my ISP (different country) nor is it apparently directly linked to the third party whom I am trying to connect to.
Both computers ping fine.

I’m trying to connect to the outside world but my eth port is connected to my power 7 box. Is there a way to ‘share or split’ this port ? Either thru some kind of swithch or software that somehow would create a lan console ? I’m trying to make what I have work withoout spending extra bucks for another eth card. Many thanx in advance.

What I have is multiple PLC’s on ethernet-IP. I need to be able to connect to each one and they are on different subnets.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Should we use cat5e or cat6? What is the difference between the two? Should we
pick one over the other?

They are both Ethernet handoffs and enter two different sonicwall firewalls. Is there a way to bridge or bond these two separate lines? They are from two separate carriers and have separate IP ranges.

All of my host equip with two ethernet interface (most of them are using broadcom 5700) and they will team up and each interface will connect to one cisco switch so as to privide fault tolerate as well as link aggregation. My question is how can I config my equipements (Cisco 2970, F5 switch 1600, Cisco 2950 as well as my host) physically (cabling) and logically (system configuration?) and theirs pros and cons? 1. Host using balance-ALB. 2. Host using 802.3ad.
