They're probably set up to use DHCP to obtain an IP address from the router. It's likely you don't have a working connection to your router. Make sure your switch is connected to the router, and not just the other computers.

How are nodes computers and peripherals on a network connected?

It is connected by a network cable, switch and a router.


Are most computers consisting of many computers and are usually connected by a networking devices such as a hub switch or access point?

Most computers today consist of many processors. Most business computers are connected via hub/switch/access point. Most broadband home users are connected to an access point, only fraction of current home computers use a hub/switch.


Are Most computers consist of many computers and are usually connected by a networking devices such as a hub switch or access point?

Your statement is True. Most computers are connected by a network device such as a hub switch and access point. Access Point is the most popular way now due to the easy configuration settings.


Does Windows Small Business Server 2008 require computers to be connected to a Switch before being connected to a router or is just having a router sufficient?

It does not require any particular switch or router you can use either.


What is a hub switch typically used for?

Hubs and switches are different types of network equipment that connect devices. A hub usually connects computers to other computers. A switch is the next step up from a switch and it records the IP and MAC addresses of the devices connected to it.


Is it true that Most computer networks consist of many computers and are usually connected by a networking device such as a hub switch or access point?

Yes, most computer networks consist of many computers that are usually connected by a networking device such as a hub, switch or access point. This type of a network is called a LAN.


A set of computers connected in one classroom is an example of?

it depends on the circumstances, if there is a server in the room and a switch/router then they will be using the mesh star but if not and all the computers have 2 Ethernet ports on the back of them then they are more than likely to be using the Ring topology. But these days they are normally connected to switch ----> Then a Router -----> then a Server which is connected to the internet and has a very strong and secure firewall. ^^^^ IGNORE ! Local area network. :)


What is peer to peer lan?

@ computers to computer connected together via a crossover cable. No hub, switch, domain or central server.


How do you setup a computer network?

If the computer network is to have internet, then you would need a modem connected via a phone line or cable connection. Then the modem is usually connected to a Router, that in turn connects to a "Switch". All the computers then connect to the Switch through ethernet cable (cat5 or cat6). One computer is often designated as the "Server", a central point to hold the programs and data for the other computers (clients) to use. INTERNET --> MODEM--> ROUTER --> SWITCH --> SERVER --> COMPUTERS (In some cases, the router can also serve as the switch as well).


Which command is used to checking whether two switches are connected are not?

To check whether two switches are connected, you can use the ping command from the command line interface (CLI) of a device connected to one of the switches. By pinging the IP address of the other switch, you can determine if there is connectivity between them. If the ping is successful, the switches are connected; if it fails, there may be a connectivity issue. Additionally, using commands like show cdp neighbors (for Cisco devices) can provide information about directly connected devices.


What are the characteristics of the star topology?

In a star topology, each device connects to a central network connectivity device such as a hub, switch, or router. These devices would be connected as a "star" (points on a star). The other characteristic of a star topology is that a failing connection will only affect the failed device unless that device is the connectivity device. This means that in most cases a failing device on a star will not take down the entire network. Another characteristic of a star is that they are easily expandable and scalable.
