So I'm trying to get my 16 port Linksys Switch to work but doens't seem to be working. Currently I have the switch hooked up to my linksys uplink port and into port 16 of the switch. I have another computer hooked up to the switch. What my problem is, is that the computer that is hooked up to the switch says "Limited or no connection" And when I do an IPConfig /Release and then a /Renew it says that it can no find the DHCP.
So what I'm wondering is how the crap do I get the computer that is hooked up to the swtich to be able to use it on the network? The current internal network IP range is 192.168.1.XXX but when I looked at the IP on the computer that was pluged into the Swtich I get 169.XXX.XXX
I did plug in a computer to the cable that is going to the uplink and it saw and go onto the internet just fine, so I don't understand why the swtich and the computer on it can't get the correct IP address from the DHCP
I hope someone can shead some light onto my problem and help me fix this issue. Thanks
