I've got a home network with a dozen of devices. Most of them connect over wifi, two PCs are on LAN. Now when I connect win8 PC to LAN, router stops responding on ping requests and all other devices can connect to each other, but not to internet. Removing LAN cable restores connection. Other PCs connected to the same LAN cable do not interrupt the connection. "Bad" PC connected to wifi does not interrupt the connection. It is clear that something's wrong with "bad" PC's NIC. The question is how to diagnose or possibly solve this?
Thanks for any ideas.

I have an Android tablet and A Raspberry Pi and I want to established a connection between them automatically when the tablet sends a request to the Pi.
I followed an Android application example here and start discovering any nearby devices. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnY97iBxp30)
At the same time i run sudo wpa_cli and p2p_find 20. The Android application detects the Pi, and I try to establish connection with the Pi which will display
<3>P2P-GO-NEG-REQUEST TABLET_MAC_ADDRESS dev_passwd_id=4
Normally I would just p2p_connect TABLET_MAC_ADDRESS pbc to successfully connect them together but I find it inefficient if I were to swap to another mobile device.
Are there any other ways to connect the tablet without writing the tablet mac address? For example connecting to that specific device ssid when they send a P2P-GO-NEG-REQUEST to the pi?
TL;DR Nope.
If we look at the OSI ISO 7 layer model for network communication we can see that the Media Access Control (MAC) address is vital for identifying which device is which within a wifi network.
You could try setting up a bluetooth connection or a token-ring, but I suspect that would be more effort than you are looking for.
With IPv6 your devices could use neighbour discovery to automate past the MAC entry to the Internet Protocol, and its possible to connect between devices using their link-local address (fe80::some:thing)
Wifi carries packets of data, that have addresses. By analogy, if I tell you which town I live in, but don't write my building address on the packet, you are going to have a hard time delivering it.
As far as I figured out, Raspberry pi 3 which runs DP 4.1 cannot get IP address from my switch. Other devices on switch like PC's running windows or Rasbian installed Rasberries can get IP address as it should and be able to communicate each other. I tested my pi with both WiFi and cable connected router and it was able to get IP address normally. So I'm nearly sure that there is no problem on my Ethernet cable, pi or switch.
As a last note, the switches is Cisco sg100d-05 and I cannot use a router instead of this switch.
Is there anything that I can do to join this closed network on switch?
So, I have Raspberry Pi B+. And compatible (I have checked, it worked) Wi-Fi module for RPi. I use Raspbian.
My task is build a router from RPi (with Wi-Fi access point).
But, one important detail there.
I don't need internet access on this setup.
This setup will only give us communication between Wi-Fi (1 or more) and Ethernet (1) clients.
For example, in this LAN:
192.168.1.1 - is RPi itself
192.168.1.10 - Ethernet client
192.168.1.15 - Wi-Fi client #1
192.168.1.20 - Wi-Fi client #2
...
How to build router on RPi, which works without internet by scheme described above?
Thank you for your help! If you have questions, feel free to ask, please.
I am attempting to access my BeagleBone Black but I am having some issues and I'm needing some help.
I messed around with my BBB almost 2 years back and I statically set the IP address for eth0. Unfortunately, I don't recall what I changed it to. If I knew the network, I could probably figure it out but I haven't the slightest clue what it could be.
I am running Windows 10 on my laptop and I have a USB to USB-mini running to the device which provides to it power and a connection.
I have installed the latest drivers, PuTTY, and WireShark. I made sure the drivers were imported, ran WireShark for DHCP requests/ARP broadcasts, LL DNS updates, or SSH port references but I wasn't seeing anything on that particular interface on my laptop (ran as promiscuous and nonpromiscuous).
I read that the default IP address for the beaglebone.local is 192.168.7.2 but I wasn't able to reach it via ICMP, HTTP, or SSL.
I assumed the USB connection provides either an Ethernet-over-USB connection or a serial connection (UART through USB), so, I have both the USB connected and the Ethernet cable connected.
To see if I could just use a serial connection with PuTTY (Serial-to-USB), I opened Device Manager to see which COM port it was using. The odd thing is that COM ports aren't listed in Dev Manager, not even by default when nothing is connected. There also wasn't section for Unknown Devices.
I figured at this point, it wouldn't hurt to download the latest release of Debian for BeagleBone. I wrote the .img to a 32GB MicroSD card and held down the USER/BOOT button while I applied power (as per the instructions).
Still no luck and I'm now out of ideas.
I only have a laptop at my disposal, currently. I don't have immediate access to a monitor, mouse, and keyboard so I wouldn't be able to view what is happening internally. The LED0 is giving me the standard heartbeat flash (2 consecutive flashes followed by a longer off period).
Does anyone have any suggestions?
TIA
I'm trying to get Wake On Lan working on my old machine, all is configured but when I shutdown my PC, I can't keep the ethernet card awake.
It's not a problem with the bios.
It's not a network problem.
My network card is compatible.
The magic packet is well received ("netstat -ntp").
If your problem is :"Can't wake PC over Internet after turn off PC a long time about 20 minutes", your should research MAC binding feature on router
