Hi,
thanks for answering, but the problem has been solved in the meantime. But anyway I will answer your questions, maybe it´s a help for somebody else:
your questions 1 and 2:) If the Pc was connected via switch to the fritzbox (7390), I couldn´t ping the fritzbox. PC and switch were not visible/existing in the network.
3.) Fritzbox 7390 modem/router combination
4.) Yes direct connection to the fritzbox was no problem.
The solution:
At the next day/overnight everything works fine without doining anything. The only thing what happens over night is the daily provider forced disconnection of the my fritzbox. And we had a short blackout in the night, so all devices have been dead for a few minutes and restarted automaticly.Stefan
Hi deffi,
Welcome to the community! :)
Let us isolate the problem. Kindly answer the questions below:
1. While port 1 of the GS105v4 is directly connected to port 1 of the Fritzbox and your PC is connected to port 2 of the GS105v4, have you check if the PC is getting a valid IP address from the Fritzbox?
2. From question #1, have you tried to assign a static IP address to your PC that is within the LAN IP range of your network then check if you are able to go online?
3. Just to verify, is you Fritzbox a modem-only device or a modem-router combination?
4. Connect your PC directly to your Fritzbox. Are you able to access the internet just fine?
I look forward to your response.
Regards,
