Linksys Gigabit switch down

This morning, Rose complained that she couldn't check her email.

I thought it was merely a proxy problem, but changing the proxy settings didn't matter.

Then Gina said she couldn't load up BCMS program.

While I was checking the server with a lot of "what if" scenarios on my mind, Mike announced that his network connection is "UNPLUGGED."

That's when I checked the switch, and voila, 3 of the 4 groups of 4 ports each were down.

Good thing I haven't installed the old Cnet 100Mbps switch at LH sub-office yet. I transferred all our network cables to this old unit so that Dinah can have the Linksys replaced, since it has warranty coverage up to Sept. 2008. Whew.

I'll be requesting for a spare unit ASAP, though.

Network access for Ronadeth

Gave network access to "Rona 2" by installing a 16-port C-Net 10/100 switch near GloPM and making 2 short LAN cables. Took me about an hour because I had to McGyver the DC Adaptor just to plug it into the APC UPS. We all know how APC UPSes are "for PCs only" because of their "monitor cable" jacks.
