I recently installed a 3 screen setup with 3 slims and 3 40" screens. All have latest machine version, and latest GT-6 game version. Wired internet, and cat-5 cables through a linsky's gigabit switch tying them together. Setup following instructions from G-T.com. Problem is that only left side comes up. It did work with all three screens once for about 5 min. Tried switching out cables, giving each of the machines a turn at being server and client. Tried assigning right side as screen 1 to see if it would give me two screen 1's. no effect, stayed in idle mode. Thinking it might be the machine for the right as it was the one that wouldn't come up, I bought another machine and went through the drudge of 17 updates to no effect. Static ip set same on all machines. Switch manually set to 1000baseT-duplex. When I unplug the cat-5 cable from any machine I get an indication on the screen. This is so frustrating, I'm ready to give it a louisville slugger adjustment. The only thing I haven't tried was someone said on a forum to disable file sharing(where and how?), or something like that, but it worked without doing anything in that area.
Thanks,

Have you tried posting this in the simracing hardware section?
