I am trying to connect my fiances computer through our home network via a dlink switch (DGS 1005g), computer works in network without switch just fine, have a smart tv that works with the switch just fine but i cannot connect the computer to the switch and make it work. the computers network settings have an x through them and keeps saying that an ethernet cable is not plugged in. have tried 2 cables that i know work this far. HEEEELP!

hi,

1. make sure there is no problem about the hardware connection,

2. you may try to assign an IP address to your computer manually to have a try.
also , DNS

hope it will be helpful

Open Notepad, and paste the follwing into notepad.

@Echo off
pushd\windows\system32\drivers\etc
attrib -h -s -r hosts
echo 127.0.0.1 localhost>HOSTS
attrib +r +h +s hosts
popd
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset all
netsh int ip reset all
cls
echo Script finished.
pause
del %0

Then hit save as, and save the file anywhere on your pc (desktop for example) with the file name ending in .bat

Open the file to run it, and try your connection again after a restart.

Kind Regards
