New Powerconnect 6024
Alright I have installed a new powerconnect 6024 as my gateway for our network. I have it set up for Vlan 1 Spanning tree disabled. Now I can get anywhere on the internal network but cant get out to the internet. Any ideas.....

Could you post a satitised diagram and config of your network? It could be so many things. I suspect routing between vlans and to the internet, or even trunking. But it is very difficult to say without more information...
you have a spanning tree loop, enable spanning tree it will block the looped port and it should all come good.

So from the switch I can ping my firewall and my Link balancer. But you can not ping the balancer from a workstation hooked to the switch. I can ping everthing on my internal network but no internet access. Here is a diagram of my connection.

Are you using the entire 10.0.0.0/8 on VLAN 1? This is not a good idea.
Or you subnetted the 10.0.0.0 range, which means that you should change the config on the Dell Powerconnect to match the subnet config of Vlan 1. If you want to use the Dell for a layer3 router, you will also have to create Vlan interfaces (and IP addresses) for the other subnets.
You will also need to set the default gateway to the LightSpeed server...

The ip range we use is 10.1.0.0/16 on VLAN 1. I have the Lightspeed server hooked up to port1 on the switch and need to direct all internet traffic to it. So what your saying is I need to set the default gateway to the LS server Ip. Will this take care of my problem with internet traffic?

Switches / Hubs
A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.
