Either way, WE are back up and running - whatever he did fixed it.
Ask him what he did. I'm just taking a guess that this new computer was statically assigned an IP that the PBX uses.

Waiting for a thermal printer to arrive. The thermal rolls have turned up and the Car adaptor, just not the printer itself

Dealing with the fact that my office can't burn a DVD. Not only are we effectively paperless, but we are also completely without physical media. lol

Star
We use them for our POS points and have no issues with them. They want to do mobile sales/printing so bought a Bluetooth Printer to play with -

Yes, because it is a physical medium you can hold.

It is, and obviously we can make USB sticks. But it's not an infrastructure for it like having a DVD Writer or Printers.
We DO have printers, they just aren't used for the office printing.

Are the printers there just to be scapegoats?

Mostly they are used as scanners, not printers. When used as printers, it's normally to make pages for the kids to colour.

sometimes I make large coloring pages for the kids on our 36" wide plotters. They love those!

@scottalanmiller It was nice. There is a restaurant at the top, then you wind down the path. There is a central aquarium in the middle with animal exhibits all around it as you walk down. There there is another restaurant at the bottom. I always enjoy it.
Cool

Watching my Desk phone restart every 5-10 minutes saying " Server not found" "trying LAN"
Then it comes up.Tis gonna be a great day.
edit I dont know the first thing about these Toshiba IP Series Phones, or even how the have our phone system set up ( is it a PBX? The world may never know)
Businesses have PBXs. There is effectively no exception to that. It's like having a computer and wondering if there is a CPU.

do you have an extension? then you have a PBX.
We have one new PC connect to the network today ( New sales man started today) and we think that is what caused it.
Conflicting IP addresses, maybe?

Not using DHCP properly. Goes well with all of the other issues you've mentioned.

Just fixed a sound issue. The issue was caused originally by the AV company that we used who sold us a mixer that was installed in a podium and did not have xlr for microphones. The main purpose of this podium , is surprise, to be connected to our house sound. After looking at it I see the original tech just used a converted box ( xlr to trs ). When delivered to us, eh should have admitted right then and there they did not get the mixer right. I know these people arent stupid so i just see them as lazy and dishonest. Now the converter box appears to be dead and she did not have it connected to the external speaker jack anyway. No wonder I don't have much hair left.
