I got a Dell something-or-other, refurbished. I hooked it up to my home network which has a setup like this:
Internet <> Router 1 <> ethernet <> Router 2
Both are wireless but I have my main computer connected wirelessly to Router 2 and this Dell one wired to the first. The reason I don't connect to router 1 wirelessly is because it's an unbranded ISP supplied one and router 2, is netgear and has FAr better range.
Basically, on router 1, I have a 'network map' of my network. I have Unknown on ethernet port 1 (the netgear router) and also Jack (the main PC). I connected the Dell to ethernet port 2 and it doesn't show it's name, just "Unknown-00-06-5b-ad-c1-d1" which I guess is the MAC address. The computer is called Dell and that's what it should show.
Do you people have any ideas as I can't share files with it like this which is a nessecity. If I manually set the IP, I can access the internet just not the other PC, and it shows as Unknown-00-06-5b-ad-c1-d1
Thanks.
