problem in cisco 1600 series router

I agree with Harry. Intermittent problems are the most difficult to troubleshoot, but are most often attributed to physical conditions. Cables running parallel to power cables, too close to microwave ovens, too close to florescent light transformers. Bad connections at punch-down block.
Had one office that had one PC drop off the net every few days. Turned out that whenever someone switched on the lights in the closet down the hall, it lost its network connection. It was just far enough away that nobody ever made the connection. In another site, it was whenever the coffe pot was brewing coffee causing a power surge just enough to cause interference in the network cables that were too close to the main power inlet.
Had a call just today. "Come tell me why my network wasn't working an hour ago, but it is now after I cycled power on the switch." It's awful hard to troubleshoot a problem that doesn't exist at the time you're looking.

Are you using NAT on the router?

sadique88 How are you doing with this?

I had asked a question regarding the router last time.'ve got some comments from 2 persons.Thanx for the comments.But my problem is not been solved.This was the question i had asked.We have a Lan connection through Cisco 1600 series router over here.We have 7 systems,working in Windows 98 SE.My problem is Sometimes 1 machine in the network doesnt connect to internet.When i ping the router it gives request timed out.mean time all the other system are working fine.Why its happening like that.Any suggestion..Any other good comments so that i solve this problem.

I can't really help, not enough Information to form an opinion... Can the PC witht the problem ping 127.0.0.? can it ping another machine on its subnet? Are you using NAT? Are you using DHCP? Can the machine be pinged from another machine on the same subnet?

sadique88 I'd love to help but I set out a series of test which are the basic trouble shooting test for this senario and I'd need to know the results.  Can you ping 127.0.0.1, can you ping the card's IP.  What are the lights saying on the router/hub and NIC.

You have got to answer these questions before anyone can begin to help you.  If you want out expert help, you need to be our eyes and let us know what you see.

No comment has been added lately, so it's time to clean up this TA.
I will leave a recommendation in the Cleanup topic area that this question is:
