What the heck am I doing wrong? I've spent about two hours now trying to get a PC to connect to a dang switch in Packet Tracer.
no shutdown doesn't work. Status and Line Protocol remain down when I run show ip interface brief
What's is frustrating me is that I can connect two switches together, two PCs together, and a switch to a router, but can't get a PC to connect to a switch! I feel like I am losing my mind here guys :-(...
Here's a packet tracer file of what I'm talking about, those two damn red lights just won't go away haha. I don't get it. I've tried setting duplex/speed manually, tried leaving it auto, tried assigning and not assigning IPs (not that that should make a difference here), ect.
my PT file: https://1drv.ms/u/s!ApdpxDV92uJSgZZyjLiafYXJVYIVAw (I am using Packet Tracer 6.3.0.0009)
Please help!
Edit: Okay, I installed Packet Tracer 7.0 from Netacad and... new packet tracers let me connect a PC to a switch! My install of 6.3 might be messed up somehow, never had this problem before! One of the connections (the rightmost PC connected to the switch still has two red lights in PT 7 but oh well, i'll take the win. I plan to start over anyway, that was just a test while i tried to figure out what was wrong. Back to homework now that I can finally build the dang network! )
