Thanks @Michael And @Jimmy, turns out it was the crimping pins :) Used different ones. As Jimmy had suggested, the pins were not making good contact with the device socket. Very grateful! *_______________________________________________________________We must Keep on, We can't stop here * On Tue, Mar 29, 2016 at 3:18 PM, joe mwirigi <joemwirigi@gmail.com> wrote:
@Jimmy, We are preparing several straight cables to test this. Will reply after several tests.
Thanks for your time.

Have you tried with a different cable? sometimes the cable termination pin points might not have full contact on some devices whereas on others they are ok.

Tried switching the ports,
Pinging A still results to *unreachable with 0%loss*. i.e. all sent packets are received but still no reply from the device. Connecting B to C (2 computers on the same ports) seems ok and replies.

For a switch/hub or other network device you generally use a straight (non-crossover cable) - for direct device to device connection you will (in most) cases need a crossover-cable.
1. Some (not all) switches have "auto-sensing" ports that apply crossover or not depending on the cable you use - check the actual specifications of your switch. 2. Common issue is that individual ports in a switch might be "fried", hence maybe the port you have connected A into may be dead - try another port.

To network techies,
I've been experiencing a problem which I cannot figure out the cause. I have a device(A) connecting to a switch (S) then a router. If I connect the device directly from a laptop(B), am able to reach the device.
A to B = works
if I connect A to the switch and B to the switch A to B through S = Not reachable
If I introduce another computer(C) and assign it a similar IP(that of device A) C to B through S = works.
Device A has no firewall the subnet is the same for all the devices (255.255.255.0) so is the IPs (192.168.0.*).
At first I thought the subject was the problem but C connects to B thro the same setup. or is the device ginxed for real.
Help
