D-Link DES-1008D 8-Port Ethernet Switch (790069217708) - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

You might want to post in a more appropriate forum - this one is for Ethernet Switches.....(which don't use CO2).

The DES 1008D is an unmanaged switch. therefore there is nothing to set up. Just plug it in and connect to your computer via a cat 5 cable. Here are the manuals Link DES 1008D

No, I think it's a simple and passive device.

Here's the manual. If you don't know what a switch does, why do you have one? 8 Port Fast Ethernet Unmanaged Desktop Switch

It depends on your connection and modem speed...

thank you..

Drivers are not required, the device is a networking device and doesn't interact with the OS directly anyway.What you might be looking for is the Web Interface that allows you to change settings, update firmware etc.By default most are configured to either 19.168.0.1 / 10.0.0.1 / 10.1.1.1 Open your web browser, type one of those into the web address bar until you find the one that brings up the web page, from here you should be able to configure a few things.If you are unsure click start > run > type: cmd > hit enter> a dos prompt appears, now type: tracert www.google.comYou will see IP addresses appear as the computer traces the path the packets are taking to reach google, what you are interested in is the first address that is in that list, that should be your switch ip address and all you have to do now, is type that address in your browser address bar. This should now bring up the configuration page for the switch.Still unsure of the address, head to D-links website and find the support link and search for your model of switch, from here you can bring up the detailed users guide which will contain instructions on how to access the Web interface also.

Not sure I understand you correctly, but an IP is required with every node / device on the network.

You don't need a driver for this.

It doesn't matter which order you connect them :)

Sir your computers are not in the same workgroup that's why coundn't ping the computer please open up *my computer then right click in it and go properties then on to the computer name > network id at the right side of that properties then add you network name what ever your have then it will work properly( Note: do these things on that computers which is connected to the other port)Thank you

you cant give static ip for d-link des swich, because they are unmage switchs

Hi there.

Unfortunately your switch is what is known as an "unmanaged" switch meaning you cannot make changes to it in any way. It is simply a plug and go device. If you want a switch that can control internet access you would be better off buying a "managed" switch or a switch that supports something called a "VLAN". A VLAN is a technology where you can make certain ports part of a virtual network and you can restrict certain access on these virtual networks such as internet access.

If it is a certain computer that you want to block internet access to you can possibly do that though your router's firewall's configuration.

The switch should not need to be installed, it is a dumb un managed device. Can you be more specific?

Good day Sir,

Did you use a router?

If yes, Do this

First use Router and 1pc only try to run the Smartbro internet. On the First run Smartbro will ask for your service number. Enter it you can copy that on your smartbro bill. If your successfully doing it. you can now connect the other pc's on the switch...

Good Luck bro. hehehehe :D

Hi, IF the D-link kept on hanging after there is a power outage, it is a security feature of the router not to short circuit. What it does is it protects the router for any power surge. If the router doesn't have that, it will be defective. What you can do to prevent this from happening is to get a power surge protector. so that the router wont turn off suddenly. You will be the one to turn it off.
Thank you for using Fixya. Your recommendation is highly appreciated for the free support.

the 10/100 Mbps feature in the switch means it will auto-negotiate the speed with the other end, so in order to make it run at 10 Mbps, degrade the computer's speed to 10 Mbps and the switch will automatically follow. You cannot set it on the switch directly since its not a managed one.

good luck

Hi,

You don not require a driver for a switch unless it is a layer 2 or 3. The swith acts as a distirubtion device for your LAN network.

Hope this helps.

D-Link DES-1008D 8-Port Ethernet switch is unmanaged switch which can only support 10/100 MBPS.The DES-1008D is a passive switch which means there is no way to configure the ip address and no need to.

Check the Broadband splitter (ADSL/Phone) for proper connection. Improper connection or faulty splitter will lead to interruption in internet connection.
