I have a strange issue and I thought I would throw it out here. I do networking for a living but this has me stumped. Has to be something simple and I'm just missing it to the point of embarrassment.
I have a simple peer-to-peer network at home. I'm using a Cisco 2960 POE 8-port switch for the cameras. The cisco 2960 is uplinked to a basic switch where my BI server is plugged in at. I decided to move my BI server in to the 2960 so it was in the same switch as the cameras. The BI server worked fine, all cameras reconnected and the BI server could get to the internet. However, I could not get to the BI server's web pages and the android app could not connect. I thought may something was caching an arp connection somewhere so I restarted the BI server, the 2960 and the other basic switch. Still could not connect. Not only couldn't I connect to the web pages or with the mobile app, I couldn't VNC either. I could ping it and see it on the network but I just couldn't connect to any services. I can however connect to the cameras from any computer connected to the basic switch.
I let it sit for a few hours to hopefully let anything cached time out but I still could not connect. Once I put the BI server back in to the basic switch everything instantly worked again. This is weird and I just don't understand it.
