Forgot to tell you that this happens even if the pc is directly connected to the router.

A month or two ago, I could not get to the internet. Through trial and error, I determined that when the switch was connected to the router, I could not access the internet. SO I ordered me a new switch. AL has been fine until today. My wife told that in the middle of the day today, all of a sudden she could not access the internet or the networked printer. After switching out cables and all, I finally figured out that the new switch is doing the same thing as the other switch did. The old switch is about a year old. The router is a couple of years old. I am beginning to wonder if it might be the router that is causing the issue. What do you all think? Any ideas on how to test everything to find out what is causing the problem? Thanks, Bobby
