Linksys Cable/DSL Router + Workgroup Switch
Linksys Cable/DSL Router + Workgroup Switch
(OP)
I have a Linksys 4-port Cable/DSL Router that works just fine. I've had it working for several months.
I now need to connect more machines to my network, so I got a 16-port Workgroup Switch. I connected out of the router's uplink port and into a numbered port on the switch.
No internet access for all the machines connected to the switch.
I believe the problem has to do with DHCP, as the computers connected to the switch can see each other -- they just can't get an IP address via DHCP.
Please advise -- thanks.

You might have to reboot the computers (I'm not sure) to get their IP addresses.
Let me know if this helped at all.

Do you have a cable connected to the port next to the uplink? They are often shared, and only one can be used at a time.
