...we're running a small peer-to-peer w/ DSL coming in across a modem to a Netgear router (4 port RP614), which then goes to a Netgear hub (8 port DS108), then out to the computers (5 of them). We're running some insurance appraisal software (one computer acts as the server) that constantly encounters problems accessing the aforementioned server (which we just replaced and did a clean install to!). Installing the new computer did NOT solve these network woes. On top of that, we get tcp/ip conflict errors at times (DHCP service is in the Netgear RP614 router) that are "cured" by rebooting the router, as well as internet access issues that are similarly "cured". Could this router be going bad? I had a Belkin wig out on me not long ago in another office. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

...forgot to add: TCP/IP and NetBeui are the installed protocols (I added NetBeui this morning to no avail it seems) on all the computers.

if the dhcp problems go away after rebooting the router, try static ip and turn dhcp off.

you only have 5 pc's to worry about, shouldn't be a problem.

sounds as if the router/dhcp is the cause.
