Connecting to a computer on a switch from a computer directory from router

1

So I have 3 Computers:

Computer 1: Connected Directly to router. Vendor: Cisco, Model: DPC3939
Computer 2: Connected to switch. Vendor Dynex, Model:: DX-E401
Computer 3: Connected to switch. Vendor Dynex, Model:: DX-E401

Computer 2 & 3 can ping each other and connect to the internet.

Computer 1 can connect to the internet and can ping the switch.

The problem is I need computer one to be able to talk to the computers on the switch.

Your switch isn't a switch, it's a router, with its own DHCP server.

Look closely at the IPv4 adresses of your PCs 2 & 3. They're in the 192.168.x.x range. PC 1 has an IP of 10.x.x.x. This tells me they are getting their IP's from different sources.

Disable the DHCP server in your Dynex router, connect all PCs and the Cisco router to LAN ports on the Dynex and you shoud be good to go.

Thanks to the link provided by Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007, the manual can be found here, page 21 explains how the configure your DHCP server in the Dynex router.

It's for sure a consumer DSL/Cable router: Dynex DX-E401

Laziness on my part, I know, but I didn't google the Dynex device. – R-D – 2014-12-24T15:39:22.887

Thanks, that partially helped, but I don't want computer once connected to the switch. – Kevin Goodwin – 2014-12-24T15:42:25.687

1Although you seem to have it working, just for clarification (in case anyone else reads this), your wiring was correct, it was just the DHCP server in your Dynex router that had to be disabled. – R-D – 2014-12-24T15:55:22.237
