I have 2 Allied Telesis media converters hooked into a network, and all the lights are green, both link and flashing activity, but the far end gets the Limited or no connectivity message from the network adaptor. The signal comes from a Linksys 48 port switch, into the media converter, over the fiber, into the far end converter, and then into a netgear 8 port switch. I tried to use a laptop directly into far end converter, but it would not get an ip address and then I got the same message as above. The computers are all set to obtain an ip automatically on both sides of the fiber, so it is not a static ip issue. If I bypass the converters with a long(500 feet at least) cat5 it works just fine, although a little slow. Any ideas what I am missing?
