Well, my mom's eMac is all set up and running; sort of. She brought it home from the k-12 school where she works for the summer and according to her, it worked perfectly there. Now, we're having all sorts of trouble:
1. iChat won't open most of the time
2. iTunes constantly rebuffers on a 100 mbt/s wired connection*
3. Screen flickers
4. Safari won't load pages, even though IE will
5. Sometimes it won't wake up from sleep
6. Print sharing to a PC will not work. The PC can see it, but will not print.**
*Network set up like this:
(see attached file)
PC1 Shares a dial up connection among the network. When just PC2 was being used (PC3 is my sisters and is hardly on), the internet would range about 28 kb/s on each machine (PCs1&2). Now with just the eMac mainly being used on the network/net and PC1 sharing, speeds have dropped to an unusable speed of 11.8 kb/s on the eMac and in the 40kb/s range on PC1! What's going on? Also, the network has slowed to a crawl and sometimes PCs don't show up under "network" unless you first connect to them using cmd+k. The network will not work if I remove the router when I'm not using my PowerBook and just connect PC1 to the hub. Ive even tried switching the hub and router's places and making the line from the router to the hub an uplink and then from the hub to PC1 a straight through.... I need help!
** Printer sharing is not working from PC2/PC1 to the eMac! The eMac can't print to the shared printer that is on PC1, even though PC2 and my PB can. PCs 1&2 have what I believe to be the correct drivers installed.
For reference:
PC1:
Windows XP Pro SP1
PC2:
Windows ME
PC3:
Windows 98 SE
PowerBook:
Mac OS X 10.3.4
eMac
Mac OS X 10.3.4
Hub:
NetGear Dual Speed (10/100) Hub
Router
D-Link (don't remember the exact model number... but I think DI-514)
PC1 Printer:
HP Deskjet 845c (USB)
eMac Printer:
HP Deskjet 840c (obviously USB)
Hope someone can help me on this one!
