bad or no connection?

Feb 11, 2005 11:17PM PST

I have a "D-LINK" cable router with 4 port. I have 2 PC's, both XP-home and an Xbox. I've had no problems for about 2 years until yesterday when an error message said "Cable not connected". Same message on all 3. I checked all the cables and they worked fine when not using the router. I saw a reset button on the router, nothing.
What should I look at now? A new router? I'm hoping someone has an idea. Thanks

three devices at the same time would lead me to suspect a common source. Swap the router.
