My internet on my computer only works when i have it conected to an ethernet switch.

 

The set up is

router-switch-switch-PC

 

If I go router-switch-PC it doesnt detect a cable plugged in.

 

Any Ideas?

Have you tried:

Different ethernet cables

Both switches in the 1 switch setup.

Different ports on the switches.

Different ports on the router

Cable works fine plugged into annother computer

But it doesn't make sense that it works on other computers
