asked on Limited Network
Hi Experts,
I have a simple network topology: router which goes to a switch with multiple computers.
Some computers have network access, some dont. Even the computer that is directly connected to the router does not have network access.
What could it be?

I have reserved specific IPs for each computer on the router.

As I suggested earlier, use DHCP and work through the computers one at a time.
I did not anticipate that you had set up reserved IP addresses on the router DHCP.
While that's fine, I would strongly suggest you forego that nicety while troubleshooting this issue.

What is the result of ipconfig when it's connected that way?

I'm not sure why so many problem computers if it is a PC problem. It could be a virus outbreak.

@APD_Toronto - Thank you for the update and I was happy to help.
On one problem computer reset TCP/IP, restart and test
Open cmd.exe with Run as Administrator
Then netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt
Restart the computer
Remake wireless profiles as needed
Also, ipconfig /flushdns followed by net stop dnscache followed by net start dnscache
