Well, nevermind then..

I was able to run in those two conference rooms in between meetings this afternoon, only to discover that they both seem to work fine now. Figures!

Shouldn’t cost very much to add a 4 port router in the wiring closet and plug those network ports into it, making those rooms capable of getting an IP address and DNS settings automatically, while leaving the rest of the network with the same static IP’s that we’ve always had.
