No internet connection through switch gs324
Hi there - I installed GS324 per the Small Office/Home Office Network Diagram mentioned on the box and am having issues. I have cat5e through the walls to many rooms, connecting desktop PCs and an Xbox 360. My Network topology is TWC Cable coax for internet into a ARRIS SB6183 cable modem + ASUS RT-N66W wifi router, into the Netgear GS324 switch and through port # 1. I plugged in my home network patch cables going to different rooms from ports 2-24. Internet access through Wifi (using the ASUS RT-N66W wifi router) and any of the 4 ports connected to the router works well. I also tried connecting another 8 port D-Link switch to one of the 4 ports on RT-N66W and I have no problems whatsoever with my home network. Any connections out from GS324 switch via an ethernet cable can no longer see ethernet. I do get at an IP address from my router so I assume the connections and cables are just fine. Just wierd that I cannot ping (may be disabled in the router config) or traceroute to my Router/default Gateway. I don't know what troubleshooting steps to take to get the GS324 switch working, and would appreciate help.
