Re: [OT] Help! new switch and routing

[Stuart Poulton <stuart.poulton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Paul,

With 192.168.0.1 as your gateway, this suggests that you have a netmask
of 255.255.255.0, in effect this means that the switch is on a different
network, at least as far as TCP/IP is concerned.

The quickest solution would be to manually give a PC an IP of
192.168.2.9 netmask of 255.255.255.0, then use the admin interface of
the switch to give it an ip in the range 192.168.1.x.

Everything is behaving exactly as it should.

default but I cant get to it. If I ping that IP, ping shows a reply from
either my default gateway when my ADSL lines are down (192.168.0.1) or an
IP at my ISP (84.45.193.194) when the lines are up !!!!
