Computers are weird...
Ghāshūl
which all (3) computers are also connected. Works fine normally.
Today my father and brother asked me to call support cause the line
wasn't working. I was confused, cause it worked fine for me.
I found that I could ping google.com from both computers, but couldn't
go the site or any other, or check mail or anything.
I had no idea what to do, but my dad suggested plugging the network
cable to the computers out and back switching them around. That solved
the problem.
Even now, I have no clue what went wrong, and why it was fixed...

Your router and it's port settings got kefuffled...that's pretty much

That happens sometimes, but can I ask why you have a the router plugged into
the switch?
You don't have to answer if the router has less than 3 ports, I guess :o)
