Lost connectivity going from hubs to switches

I am trying to go from OfficeConnect hubs to Netgear
switches. When doing so, I can access the network with
some of the PCs but not others. I have tried setting
everything to 10 mbps/ half duplex, but to no avail.

Do the status lights on the switches and NICs give any indication
of what's happening?

Does "rebooting" the switches (by momentarily removing power) make any
difference?

Rebooting the switches hasn't helped. The status lights
on the switch(s) are solid green or they flicker together.

Thanks for the help.

Did you use a crossover cable?

yes/no, the switches are supposed to correct for the type
of cable.

In that case you have basic connectivity, so additional
details about what exactly you mean when you say you can't
"access the network" are in order. Precisely what error
messages are you getting? Can you ping to/from the problem
machines? Have you reviewed the information presented by
winipcfg (especially on the problem machines) to make sure
all IP addresses and netmasks are appropriate?

When I move over to the new hub, I can't log onto our SBS
2003 network. So, I ran winipcfg. The initial info was
correct, so I released and renewed and got the following
error "DHCP Server Unavailable: Renewing Adapter". At
that point all of the info is zeroed out except the DHCP
server which is 255.255.255.255.

Thanks for your help.

surre its 255.255.255.255 not 255.255.255.0 ?
