No internet behind switch!

Okay so here´s the deal ..

Network diagram

Internet ---> Modem/router ---> Switch (Dlink DSG 1005D)--> Main PC, IPTV, media center

The problem here is.
My media center wont work with the switch, but everything else will.
My main PC has a full internet speed aswell as the others, expect for the media center. I cant browse the web with the media center, even tho it says it has internet connecting. It is getting assigned a IPv4 address from the router (192.168.1.xxx) like all the other pc´s in the router + I can see it in the routers webGUI.
I´ve tried googleling this one hard, but cant find an answer.
The media center is running win8, the network nic is a marvell yukon 88E8057 nic.
If I plug it straight into the router, it works perfectly. I dont get it?
 
It works when I plug it directly into the router, and all other network connect devices behind the switch (expect for the media center) works..
I don´t think its the routers firmware, which I btw cant touch because its the an ISP shitty cheap solution with modem and router in one, and alot of it is close off so I cant touch it, expect for the normal firewall and that kind of things
Sorry if I sound cranky :)
 
Have you tried switching the cables at all? A cheap cable will cause you problems, particularly in long runs.

See if you can flash that shit with dd-wrt? Who is your provider? VM "super hub" routers can be set to just "modem mode", then connected to a decent router.
 
Im gonna check if I can flash it.
I tried different cable.
My provider is TDC (Denmark)
Could it be, because of the cheap nic on the motherboard?
 
The nic should be fine since you said that it works when it's plugged in the router directly.
It could be a duplex mismatch. Since the switch autonegotiates you should set your computer to autonegotiate too. To do that Right Click on Computer -> Manage -> Device Manager -> expand Network adapters and double click your NIC -> Advanced tab -> should be a Speed&Duplex option or something along those lines and set it to Auto Negotiation.
 
Check your other computers that work though the switch what duplex they are using.
Other things I would try:

  • In command promp type ipconfig /release
  • ipconfig /renew
  • ipconfig /flushdns
Different DNS server, opendns or google public dns.
In command prompt if you do "ipconfig /all", what info do you receive for your NIC.
Give that pc a static Ip or reserve an IP just to see what would happen then.
If you have lots of entries in the hosts file, I would try to reset it to default. Here is a MS guide.
Try starting in safe mode, maybe you have a firewall rule or some program that interferes.
Last thing I would try would be to use a live linux distro to see if it would work then.
