If not, I might That's always a good thing to have your stuff in order before you put things into production: Network-layer: make sure hub/switch to router/workstation/server interface speeds and definitions are the same. (100Mbps vs 10Mbps vs 1Gbps and half-duplex vs full-duplex) IP-layer: make sure the subnet masks are the same. make sure that the IP addresses are not re-used and try to have a list of MAC-addresses for important machines (=your host and your router).
