Yes. Everything worked fine until about a week ago.

Nothing is using the uplink/5th port, so it really
does not matter which position it is in.
Any help in gettin this to work will be greatly
appreciated. I am currently reduced to reading e-mail
and web-browsing on a Windows laptop with a 'g' key
that sometimes works and a broken hinge that could
fall off at any time.
Here is what information I have gathered, or been
asked for by others attempting to help me solve this
problem:
I am able to 'ping localhost' from either box.
I am unable to ping my gateway box from the desktop,
or ping the desktop from the gateway.
When I attempt a ping from either box to the other,
both sets of lights on the switch blink, suggesting
that data is going through the switch, both NICs and
both cables. The lights on the switch correctly
show 100Mb/sec full-duplex connections from both
machines. I have already changed the NIC on the
gateway machine in an attempt to solve this. The
desktop machine has a built in NIC and is only a few
months old.
Everything worked fine until about a week ago.
