The printer is static IPed. The base network gear is very modern. This one segment is a little odd. Everything starts with a 50-port HP 1920 (maybe two years old). Then to get to this problem endpoint it first goes to one HP Office Connect 8-port (new) then arrives and this endpoint which has another new HP Office Connect 8-port (the one that I can't get a link LED on). Very frustrating. I am not thrilled about the 8-port switches but they should work.

The 8-port HP Office Connects aren't managed. By default the speeds are auto. That is what is throwing me. The problem link is from one HP to another. I am having maintenance check the cables but I would think that if it were a flaky cable that the main 1920 switch should pick up a lot of errors on that port.

Can't do it. It is the only incoming network connection for 150 feet. Have to debug what is there,

I am going to let their maintenance department worry about it.

I have a customer that has a weird issue going on. He has a network printer right next to his computer. To make a long story short the printer will disappear on him (unable to ping) and if he un-plugs the cable from the switch it will come back.<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;It is an old Netgear 10/100 8-port. So.... I replaced it with a decent HP Office Connect 10/100/1000 and this is where is gets strange. The &quot;main&quot; cable going to another switch will not connect and give a link light when plugged in to the new switch. <br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;His computer give a link light on the switch, the printer give a link light on the switch but the main cable to the rest of the network will not give him a link light. I can plug it back in to the old Netgear switch switch and a link light will come on. Just not in the new HP switch. Switching ports doesn't help.<br />

&nbsp; &nbsp;I am at a loss on this one.....

Weird Switch Issue

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
