| I'm having a problem with my local network; here is how it is configured :
There are 3 PCs (pA, pB, pC) and 2 routers (rA & rB. The internet modem is connected to the first router rA, which redirect it to the PC pA and to the 2nd router rB ; then the two PCs pB and pC are connected to rB. This way, the internet connexion is shared between the three computers. The problem is that it seems that my computer (pB) can see the network, but the network can't see it : that means that I have to manually set my IP address, gateway and DNS servers and internet works ; but when I ask it to automatically detect all these settings, it doesn't work. So, internet may work with manual settings but it's quite slowed-down because no incoming address can come directly to my computer. The result is that my downloads are very slow, and netplay games give a freaking high ping. Same thing happens to PC pC. It looks like some kind of firewall is blocking every incoming address at router rB, but I've checked all settings and I can't see anything similar activated. The strangest thing is that the automatic IP address finding option stopped working a morning, without any logical reason... I hope someone good enough in network can give me a clue about this issue, it will be very appreciated; thanks! |

Didn't really like the way you worded that. I had to draw a diagram to understand what was going on.  Make sure that the computers on the network are configured for network use instead of being directly connected to the modem. It wouldn't hurt to run the Network Setup Wizard on your computers (assuming you're using Windows).
Though not really any big deal, also make sure that your computers are configured to be a part of a network of the same name. It has nothing to do with your problem, but it helps if you ever want to do file and printer sharing in the future. The problem may also be that you haven't got the routers set up correctly. If you haven't connected to the router and messed with any settings at all, make sure that the cables that are providing the internet are in the correct slot (either the back of the router should have a label telling you where the internet port is or the documentation that came with the router could tell you this). Make sure the connector coming from the modem is going into the internet port of rA; and that the connector coming from rA is connected to the internet port of rB. If that doesn't work, you may want to connect to the routers and change some of their settings. |

Problem solved 
Actually, the connector coming from rA was connected to the internet port of rB, whereas it had to be connected to a regular port (because rA is already sharing the internet connexion). Thanks for the help anyway. |

 Whoa. What brand routers do you have? I woul dhave made sense ot need to connect rA to the internet port of rB... Ah well, if it works that's what's important. |

| No, you've got your router configured incorrectly if this is how you've gotten it to work. Not saying you will, but you'll likely have problems in the future because of this. Personally, I'd try to get things to work the way they were made to work. |
