Hey, thanks for posting. The issue is not actually solved and it angers me so. I figured it might have something to do with the static ip, but I have Comcast so it literally takes a day for it to stop applying a static ip to a device. I will attempt to do this.

That would explain this chaos. But how do resolve it? Resetting the router, then both switches does not seem to improve things.

Yes TL-SG105E is unmanaged. I went back and checked i just have TL-SG105

Yep All lights on the nics and switch ports are on. And as i mentioned in the post i swapped all the cables and double checked each of the ports. The cables seem to work just fine on the personal PC and swapped between all of the ports. Still unable to talk to the servers.

I actually had to double check the switch, turns out i do have the SG105 not the SG105E. SG105E is managed, i have unmanaged. edit the post accordingly

See post text, turns out it wqs elite dangerous’ fault.

You hold babies because they are unable to spell. I hold babies because they refuse too. We are not the same.

I can see that perspective, but I think the word ‘beginner’ still makes it sound like people want to paint Mint in a poor light. It sounds elitist ya know? Perhaps a better word for it is reliable.
