We have microwave broadband at home (Nova Networks)- wired once it enters the house. Up until recently we would just take the LAN cable from one computer (desktop) to the others (laptops) and it always worked fine (better on the laptops, actually).
About a month ago all this stopped, and I can't get any signal to the laptops. We've tried rebooting, powercycling the router, reconfiguring IP/TCP protocols so all the computers are exactly the same, but no use. There's just no signal when you plug the LAN cable into the laptops.
Plug it back into the desktop (wait 5 mins) and bam, it's fine.
Rang Nova and they said that the signal was perfect from their end and they speculated it might be virus related. All computers have been completely scanned and check out as clear.
IT guy from work has no clue either.
Anyone here got any clever ideas?
