scm179,

 

Since you get replies when you ping the IP Address of your router and Google then you should have internet access on your new PC when directly connected to the GS308T.  

 

Try to set Google DNS on your new PC such as 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.  Check if it will let you access any website. 

 

 

Regards,
