Firewall used: Yes

Problem details
First occurence of problem: Last Week
Problem frequency: 1st time
Problem description: All of sudden the network down. When the network is up again, certain department loose their connection. Below is my roughly sketched network layout.

Now the issue is when ever I established the connection to the computer LABs... the whole Network will go down.
but if I unplug the 1st WAP n 2nd WAP connection and connected the computer labs... The whole computer labs can have access the Internet... but the 3rd WAP still having issues.

Is the IP address issues?? Before this it got no problem.... if the IP address not enough, ppl will have to wait for the next available ip....(applied on WAP (Student's clients)). It only started last week.

This is weird... According to my colleague, he tried to format his laptop runnning XP SP2...
When he run the OS CD(s), the setup cannot detect any harddisk.
But when he boot up normally... can enter his previous OS system. His Harddisk also detactable in bios setting.
Checked for error also got no bad sector, no dying sound. The Hardisk using IDE type not SATA.
Any suggestion to solve this?
