Internet not working with gigabit switch |
|
|
Here is my current network setup:
I have a Soundstream 5100 DSL modem connected to the WAN port on my Hawking
HWR54G Wireless-G 4-Port router, a SMCGS5 5-port Gigabit unmanaged switch
connected to port 1 on my wireless router, and my built-in gigabit Ethernet
computer is connected to port 2 on my gigabit switch. I will eventually be
connecting my htpc and ps2 to the gigabit switch, but I wanted to test the
setup before I started running wires.
My eventual goal is to share an internet connection with the ps2 and two
computers, as well as share files on a gigabit network between the two
computers. The problem is, right now with just my main computer connected,
it isn't able to find the internet connection from the Hawking wireless
router through the gigabit switch. However, the computer does see the
gigabit connection and all ports on the wireless router and gigabit switch
show the appropriate lights. When I take the gigabit switch out and connect
the computer directly to the wireless router, the internet works just fine.
What am I doing wrong? Do I need to change a setting on the wireless router,
switch or connected computer? Is this setup even possible? Thanks. |
