Adding a 5 port switch to a PL 1200 adapter

I would like to have multiple devices access the ethernet made available by my PL 1200 Powerline adapter. But when I plug the ethernet cable from the adapter into my switch (a Netgear GS605), none of the devices on the switch can see the network. Shouldn't I be able to do this?

Yes you should.  Probably just a simple connection problem.  Are the two PL1200's connecting correctly?  What are the three lights doing (on/off? and colour) on the front?
