GS108E shows 'Located on IP Network' value that is the same as the IP of my desktop PC ???

My concern (question) is that when I run the switch Configuration Utility, it shows the switch details correctly, except for the last column 'Located on IP Network' where it shows 10.0.0.253, which is the address of my PC. By my understanding, that isn't even a (the) network address. What is that column intended to show? And how come my PC's address is there?

This designation of "Located on IP network" is just confusing. Of course it's not a network address - much more the utility does indeed show the IP address of the PC adapter connecting to the IP subnet from where the switch is discovered.

Thanks schumaku, but I'm afraid NSDT 1.2.103 doesn't find my switch at all.

NDST is technically much less challenging than the legacy utility which requires the installation of a low level packet driver for the obsolete Adobe Flash environment allowing access the network using the not very secure NSDP Netgear Switch Discovery (and admin) protocol. 

Could be firewall, network location or certain Internet security potentially blocking.

You can always use the switch IP address as seen in the router DHCP table for example to access the switch from a Web browser.
