Download NMAP for windows and run a scan on your subnet, i.e
if your network is 192.168.0.0 - 255 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0 scan 192.168.0.0/24

That will tell you everything on the network, and open ports.

hmm results are back - there's a couple of IP's showing as live but the hostname is 'n/a' thinking one of these two might be me switch

only other suggestion is that most switches have a "default" setting - some default to dhcp, others to a particular IP address that you have to look up in the manual.

If you can find this information and a way of resetting the switch to its default presets.... you're in business.

Only way to reset to defaults is to run a commandline via a cable that's impossible to source locally. (If I can't get this done today I'll have to order one of the web)
There's a html type admin panel if you type the ip into your borswer (like a domestic router) but for some reason this isn't showing if I type it into my client machine ...hmm...might try that locally. Pretty sure I have the address now.

cheers dan, got my answer with angry ip scanner but downloaded that too for future use

[Dave20046]

Bingo! Proxy exception added,discovered IP typed and I have a control panel!

Now to guess the password

Anmyway with that knowledge I've added it a reservation now so I'll wait and see if that stops the weird connection drops clients have been getting. Fingers crossed.
Thanks everyone - I'll update as applicable if you're interested.
