I'm a little puzzled by your email and it seems to me that more info is
needed. Do you have a bunch of computers you want to network and so are
interested in setting up a (static) numbering scheme? Presumably those
computers do not connect to the internet, because if they do there must
be a router of some sort between your network and the internet. Is it
that you have a single computer that you're having trouble assigning a
static IP address to and the others are quite happy and get their IP
address from somewhere?
Hopefully you're not thinking that your switch is going to be helping
you assign numbers or is somehow relevant, as essentially it is just a
place where your ethernet cables terminate, it's just a matter of having
a valid numbering scheme.
Cheers,
Roger

there is a heap of information using DHCP, and using routers, but I have
not been able to find anything using static numbers and a switch.
this particular distro does not seem to like static ip numbers
