Tried once before and cannot get the signal through the switch. Called D-link and they figured the switch bad and replaced it. the new one doesn't work so i think it's some thing else.
speedstream dsl to d-link 624 wirelses router/
network printer, wife's desktop, laptop (wireless) and feed to HTPC, approx 60 feet of CAT 5e cabling
Htpc feed is where i want the switch so I can tie in my DishTV DVR and HDdvd player. Each unit works if I plug the feed direct but when I put the switch in it's dead. No ping, no return from either end. All lights on the switch are green, showing connection but the HTPC never gets an IP address and nothing, as in zero, received.
XP pro on all computers, Norton Security handles firewalls. Any ideas. I'm really starting the get frustrated with this. It's got to be a simple setting somewhere. D-link could provide no help whatsoever even though it's their hardware through and through.
