I suspect that all the IP's in the network were re-assigned by switch 1 to a Class B address overnight. Fine I fixed that but why didnt it change back when I connected tot he firewall?
The laptop has a different class B address and the firewall is 192.168.1.1. So I recalled the firewall back to the lab, and re-set it up on the laptop only in the LAN port. I tried rebooting, restarting services, more rebooting. By morning, I had no internet access at my PC in switch2. I was able to get to the firewall setup page, and get regular network traffic. This is instead of the firewall next to the switch. During this process, I decided to move the firewall down a level so the data flow goes CABLE MODEM=SWITCH1=6P FIREWALL=SWITCH2.
Needs tweaking for the Roku I am writing about in a different thread. I am working through a new install with a VPN.
