You're experiencing an issue where your Ethernet switch isn't properly distributing the internet connection across multiple devices. It seems like the switch might not be routing traffic correctly or there could be a configuration problem. Check if the switch is set up to allow multiple devices to share the same port, and ensure all cables are securely connected. If the problem persists, it may require adjusting the switch settings or consulting the manufacturer's support.

These managed switches can be set to prevent multiple switches from being linked at the same time. Even though it doesn’t seem obvious, they appear to restrict each port to just one IP address. There are methods to work around this, but the forum guidelines state we can’t assist with bypassing security features you don’t own.

According to Windows 7, you're likely receiving just one IP address. You'll need a router.

Are you studying on a university campus or at home? If it's a campus with a managed network, it's likely they've secured the switches handling the wall ports you're connecting to.

You'd require a router, and you should review their rules about personal routers—many campuses block them due to interference issues. Various networks may hide your own SSID, preventing any connection.
