Can't find switch after reset

Hi,

 

I have 3 Netgear AV Switches and I have reset all 3 with the reset button on the front. I have found 2 via the OOB socket on 192.168.0.239 and re-configured them but the third can't not be found on the 239 address or via a search with the Netgear Discovery tool either plugged into the OOB socket or Port 1.

 

To confirm I only have my computer plugged directly into the switch and I have set the computer to a static IP of 192.168.0.201 and a gateway of 192.168.0.1 and I can't find the switch either via the OOB Port or Port 1.

 

It is the same cable I used to find the other 2 switches.
