I have tried the suggestions in previous forums, re I have my pc nic addressed as 192.168.2.2 and have pressed managed mode reset button many many times on 2808 switch, let it recycle, powered off , on etc.. Switch always goes back to managed mode but fails to reset to ip 192.168.2.1 , re I cannot ping 192.168.2.1 or browse it with either ie or firefox. Does anybody have any other suggestions. I am using known good cat5e cable and a dell machine with known good nic, re I can ping 127.0.0.1, ping adapter 192.168.2.2 , and also if necessary use the adapter after reassigning ip address to use the internet through my router.

Thanks for any help provided  !     :-)
