Question about Devolo Magic 2 LAN triple starter kit

Can anyone help me? I have the following problem: I have plugged one adapter directly into the router and the other into the room (the way it should be done). Everything works. When I connect the notebook I have a LAN connection, when I connect my old desktop PC I also have a... Only when I connect my new PC I always get an error message "Network not identified". I have already googled, manually entered and reassigned the IP addresses, but it still doesn't work. Is anyone aware of this problem? Thank you in advance for your help.

My setup is the same (only instead of three PCs, I connected one media streamer and one PC, and left one port empty). I can't tell you what exactly is causing your problem, but I can at least tell you that I also have the problem that the PC doesn't get a network every now and then. I can run "ipconfig /renew" and the like as often as I like, or unplug and plug in the LAN cable: the Devolo just doesn't seem to recognise that a client would like to have a network now... (or else it has completely crashed). I then disconnect and reconnect the Devolo "transmitter" (i.e. the one connected to the router), and then it usually works again (after a short setup time). This is a bit annoying, especially if you have all the other 230V consumers plugged into the Devolo socket: of course they are all briefly de-energised during such a reset action, which is not always desirable... In the meantime (contrary to the manufacturer's recommendation) I have plugged in the Devolos via a multiple plug and left the 230V socket on the Devolo unused: this way I can at least do a Devolo reset without other devices losing power... (Presumably the data throughput suffers due to the multiple plug, but this is not noticeable in my use).
