Hi, the indian model concerned swtich is unmanaged 1 gb switch having 5 ports.

I have connected ethernet port of router to one of the port of the switch.

The remaining ports are four to use. there are 2 pcs and one laptop. one pc and one laptop connection is working fine. the other pc, having windows,7 is having the problem.

As the ethernet port got damaged, I am using usb to ethernet to connect to the pc and the other to the network switch. the connection is not established with slow off and on of the small light, llnk light. the messages, identifying network, and failure with a red x mark on the Lan icon in the system tray.

I connect the ethernet  to the 10/100 fe port of the router, the connection gets established and i could see the name of the network and everything works fine.

My query is , why the network switch is not allowing the internet connection to that system. i checked the ports for any damages but nothing. I only recently bought it in a weeks time. I tried to troubleshoot, by changing the switch port.

There was no menu to get connected devices. So, I downloaded the advanced ip scanner to get the information.

The scan shows live, when the ethernet jack is connected to the router port, whereas the same scan shows dead, when connected to the port on the switch.

there was a mention of loop prevention in the features page, but no physical switch on the device as it is unmanaged.

would any one give me the solution
