Netgear Discovery tool 2.0.7.0 no longer finding my 5 switches.
I have used the utility many times before. Sometimes I have to run it twice to get results. Now it doesn't find anything. I can ping them all by IP, I can get into them via web and they are all...

StephenB, I guess I should've mentioned that too. I am wired directly to the 8 Port in dining room GS108EV4 which is wired directly to the other 4 switches.
My other utility fines the switches by MAC just fine from the same computer. I don't think it's a broadcast protocol issue.
I did power cycle the switches.
Attached is a copy of the NGDT output, and my ping scanner output.

NDT does discover nothing, while ping is workable - please read my first reply in your thread here again plaase.
