Supreme1 Posted September 22, 2007 CID Share Posted September 22, 2007 Alright i got a new switch today a Netgear GS605. I hooked in my Xboxs Ethernet booted it up showed a IP (It's Modded) works fine, Hooked my Ethernet to the switch went online also works perfect. Went to WAL MART bought a 50 foot Cat 5E Ethernet cable hooked into her computer and the switch and it cannot for the life of it acquire a IP address from the router through the switch which is doing th DHCP thing. Well thats the problem um if more specific information is needed i can get it just I am not to good with words =p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted September 22, 2007 CID Share Posted September 22, 2007 Ignore the things I post that you already have done K? Set up router, and computer for DHCP, shut off all machines, including xbox and router, make sure you are not in the uplink connector going to the computer. That goes to the router. Turn on router and switch, wait for router to obtain IP from modem, then power on computer, then other terminations. EDIT:I should have said shut everything off, then start w/ the modem, router, switch, then computer and xbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme1 Posted September 22, 2007 Author CID Share Posted September 22, 2007 Funny thing is when the Ethernet was connected to the switch it would not send a address. So i put the Ethernet in the router and replaced one form the router to the switch now it works fine. Thank you as well mudmanc4 i appreciate it.

Supreme1 Posted September 22, 2007 Author CID Share Posted September 22, 2007 Alright i went through the steps and for some reason some of the wires only work in the router, once i hook them tot he switch it will not hand out a workable ip address. Anyone know a reason for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REV0LUTI0NIZED Posted September 22, 2007 CID Share Posted September 22, 2007 This seems like a router issue.. What router do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REV0LUTI0NIZED Posted September 23, 2007 CID Share Posted September 23, 2007 What's your "DHCP IP Address Range" set up to, on your DGL-4100? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme1 Posted September 23, 2007 Author CID Share Posted September 23, 2007 192.168.0.1-15 When i hook the other Ethernets that don't like the switch, into the switch it only give a non usable private address also at most it would be 6 things running at once so there definitely space in the range area.
