Yes I am. It just seemed odd that I can ping the router but not the attached wired pc. I'd have thought if I had connectivity to the router then I would with the computer. :)

I will turn off some of the machines and see if the situation impoves. Thanks.

Are you using 802.11 to connect?
If so the fact they are all on the same channel will be causing interference.

Sorry. There are computers attached via a cables to the wireless routers. I normally connect to these pc's over the wireless lan. :)

There has never been problems previously but that was with fewer devices at a time. The only things to change are the volume of devices, the router firmware and the mobo bios. :)

I'm not even sure I understand the question correctly.
If you can't connect via a wire, what's wireless got to do with it?

To many wireless routers?

The scenario is this:

Ten wireless 3G routers in one building. All in fairly close proximity with each on wired to one pc. From my laptop I am struggling to connect to the wired pc. I can connect to each router but as said the wired connection to the attached pc is intermittent.

Could this be due too to many wireless devices in a small area? They all have different SSID's and security keys but are on the same wireless channels.

Any thoughts? :)
