Hi!

Recently I had to separate three hosts on a VLAN. Almost all the ports of the switch are on VLAN 1, expect three of them for which I've set up pvid=2 untagged and I've excluded them from VLAN 1. Two hosts communicate through the switch but one laptop, Acer Aspire 8943G, doesn't behave as expected.

I've swiched ports with no success. I've updated the driver of the nic, an Atheros AR8151. I've also tried with a live CD of Ubuntu. Still, no success. Another laptop (with another configuration, different model) works well connected in the ports of the switch of vlan 2.

What is strange is that:
1. On a port of vlan 1 the laptop can communicate with the other hosts from vlan1.
2. Beeing connected to a vlan2 port the laptop RECEIVES its ip configuration through dhcp from a modem. No other communication exists afterwards.

I can't figure out this problem. Anyone, do you have a clue of what's happening here?

Thank you.

Alex

Hi!

After setting the ip on the laptop by manual configuration things began working as expected.
