D-Link DIR 655 Router

'Just found this site and appears someone can answer my seemingly foolish question.

Let me paint a picture to put my question into understandable context: visualize a 4-prong pitchfork. The handle is a connection cable as are the four individual prongs. The handle goes to the ISP, and the four prongs each go to four individual computer stations, each with an active computer on it.

Now, can each of the individual computers interchange information with each other AND each individually access the ISP? If this is correct then, I would assume that in the absence of an ISP connection the individual computers would still interchange information between themselves...

Thanks in advance for any information. Admittedly, I could hook everything up to 'try' it for myself but I am attempting to configure an audio-video complex and want to avoid buying unnecessary components. If the router works as I visualized, I think I have it ;0)

That's actually a pretty good analogy, but it is also possible - using your metaphor - to be using the pitchfork and snap the prongs off of it. In that case (you are talking about a NIC failure in either the switch or the computer, or a cable/transmission failure like faulty wiring or too much interference with wireless; the failure would be something along those lines, possibly even utter failure of the switch itself) the prongs would be off the pitchfork, and they would not be attached to other prongs either - ie computers unable to talk to each other even though they appear to be attached (wired) to the switch.

Cases like that are pretty easy to diagnose - are you getting an IP address? Is the link light active?

Haven't done it yet, just feeling for an understanding first. Thanks

My code starts a TCP/IP socket listener and waits for incoming connections. This works fine on my system and my test system but I have a customer who say it does not work on their system. As far as I can tell the problem is they are using a DSL modem with a router internal to it. So basically my software is listening to IP address 10.0.0.3 but the external connection is trying to connect to xx.xx.xx.xx on the internet which in concept...

Today something weird happened: I bought myself a new wireless router for home, got it set up, and everything was great. Browsing, email, even Shareaza p2p. Until I tried to use the ASP.NET 2 menus on one of my apps (hosted remotely). The menu options just wouldn't work, the browser just sitting there waiting for a response for ever. Not all menu options though, only the ones requiring postback. Hyperlink

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
