if you are attempting to network and need ip addresses. that piece of hardware doesn't supply dynamic addresses. you would need to manually program your connected computers and other hardware for communication to occur between them.
I think the broadband connection you are using is not enabled for NAT ( Network Address Translation).
This is required to give internet access to more than one system through a single internet connection.
If NAT is not enabled or supported by your broadband router then you cant access internet through more than one system simultaneously.
Are you able to ping between systems connected to the same Netgear FS605 switch and in same VLAN.
I suspect either switch port or Uplink cable issue.
Please try changing a new cable and if no improvement then please try with a different switch port.
Here is a link to Netgear's support page for that product. Depending on the version you have their are documents pertaining to how to set up your switch. Example of documentation here. I think the issue you are having is that you don't have it configured correctly for your network. Follow the instructions and you should be up and running in no time. Their isnt software for this device, you just have to access the device and change a few settings.
To connect a router or a dsl modem to a switch you either have to use port 4 or use a utp crossover cable. As you can see on the Netgear FS605 the modem/router has to be connected to port 4.
well, apparently your switch is taking off your PC from his arp table due to his inactivity. try to release and renew the ip address in your machine instead of reset the switch.
Normally reset the switch will be you last resource.
go to START -->> RUN type cmd <hit ENTER>
a black windows should populate, its calles command prompt.
type:
ipconfig /release
then ipconfig /renew
this will force the switch to see your network Interface Card.
Test power in its adapter up to the plug in end of the switch adapter. The power adapters are usually the culprit. If there's power in the wall plug, that leaves you with the switch itself. It's either bad inside or should come on.
The FS06 switch is probably defective and needs to be replaced...especially if the status of the lights does not change after you cycle the power on and off with no network cables plugged in. These switches are sensitive to overheating and can easily be damaged if used next to other warm network equipment or with air vents blocked by papers, etc.
Turn-on order is not critical in this scenario, but ideally you should plug in all network cables, turn on the switch first, then turn on the computer.
Sorry to say, you have the wrong part. Whoever told you you could hook it up to both your PCs and your cable modem didn't know what they were talking about.
Your FS605 is just a switch; hooked up directly to a cable modem, you will only see one IP address as that's all the cable modem will allocate.
What you need is a router, to allocate multiple local IP addresses and share the connection up to the cable modem.
Linksys BEFSR41 routers are ridiculously cheap these days and highly reliable, or if you like Netgear, you'll need the RP614.
