Hello storminnorman,
Welcome to the community!
Did you check if the other win7 computer is getting an IP address? If so, check if that computer can ping your gateway or DHCP server.
Thanks,
Yes the PC gets an IP and can access the network. I am goign to try swithcing the ports on the switch wiht the other PC that I can ping and see if that makes a difference
And the firewall is off...
Update on this case.
The issue is with both PC's and it seems that the DNS is not being updated on our servers possibly the "switch" needs to be added as a DHCP relay.
DHCP shows the correct address but the DNS server shows a different address. DHCP is coorect
