Re: Any networking experts here?

All: Thank you for your help with the below issue. It turns out it may not be the switch after all. I ordered a new switch so that will be resolved soon anyway. But in the interim, I moved so I had the chance to reconfigure the network. Here's what I found: I have (right now) 8 devices connected

Yeah, if you can live with a fixed IP, this is likely to be a great solution in the "I'm tired of debugging this any more" case. > On Apr 14, 2020, at 1:02 PM, Jeff Weinberger wrote: > > On Tue, Apr 14, 2020 at 3:42 PM qb mailto:qbj...@mac.com>> > wrote: > Have you tried a FIXED IP address as

Any networking experts here?

Hi - any help here is much appreciated!! My iMac's (Retina 4K 21.5 inch Late 2015, OS/X 10.15.4) Ethernet will not connect when it is connected to a switch (NetGear GS108 ProSafe 8 port gigabit unmanaged switch) which is in turn connected to my router. It connects fine when the iMac is connected
