Yes, that's correct. If you just change one card to a fixed rate of 10-full
mode,
it'll start to see the internet, but won't see the other machines still.
They *all*
have to be on 10-full mode to see each other or for any of them to see the
internet.

Yes I know they are setup correctly, regardless of "someone elses" claims
that it's probably all setup wrong.

I'm not 100% certain, but yes I *think* they are. They are all Aopen
cards, and two of them are identical. The third is newer, but may be
the same "model", but I'm not certain.

I will try this. DHCP has *always* been on.

Thanks for your advice, I'm gonna look into this and do more
troubleshooting.
