Cannot connect to GS308E at all
Device is currently wired, but I cannot get to the admin page to change the settings to get it to work. This is what I get below, Obviously 169.254 is an APIPA address and wont work. DHCP is configured on my router. I am really stumped, any help would be appreciated.
1 devices found on Ethernet (169.254.227.137)
GS308E | MAC Address 6C:CD:D6:B3:3F:42 | IP Address 192.168.0.239 | Firmware Version 1.00.08 |

Appears neither the computer (thus fall-back to ZeroConf address) nor the switch (thus the default .239) get an IP address from the router. How are these devices connected to the router? Be aware that also the computer can't get Internet access with this address - probably using anther adapter or WiFi.
Technically, it would be possible to manually configure the computer Ethernet adapter to an address in the 192.168.0.x/24 network if the aim would be just getting access to the switch management.
