Cant Manage thru a Switch

I have my PC and My KR1 pluged into a switch. When I run the Management Utility (http://192.168.0.1) I can not connect. I have to plug my PC directly into the KR1 in order to run the utility.
Any Ideas?

What type of switch is it? Does it have an uplink port? What is your computer's IP address?

I have not seen this issue. I have used the KR1 with numerous switches and powerline bridges (both autosensing - MDI/MDIX, and not). Have you tried a cross-over cable?

Fixed itself I guess.
I can manage though my switch, sometimes it take awhile to come up.

Almost sounds like an ARP issue. After flushing caches, what happens when you ping the KR1's address? Any packet loss?

If you've got other things connected through the switch you could have collision issues or a host of other problems. Also, some NICs take a while to process DHCP.

Actually looks to be a defective KR1 (customer of ours). They're experiencing configuration memory loss issues too.
