Need to configure my D-LINK DES-1016D - Computers & Internet

Yes. Cat 6 is for 1000Mbps / 1Gbps, and is backwards compatible. It will simply default to port speed on unit.

Auto MDI/MDIX Crossover
All ports support auto-negotiating MDI/MDIX detection, which eliminates the need for crossover cables or uplink ports. The DES-1016D is the perfect choice for Plug-&-Play support for 10BASE-T and 100BASE-T networks.

See -->> http://www.d-link.co.za/des-1016d.php for further specs.

Hope this helps.

Hi,
DLink DES 1016D is seems to be an Layer 2 unmanaged switch which can not provide IP addresses.
If this switch is connected with a router or a DHCP server then it can pass the IP address to any connected device.

Just connect your router into port 1 and rest of your devices on the other ports. Its just plug and play. Im assuming your router is a DHCP server. If not, configure all your devices to static IP

connect the router configure the settings give by the internet provider and configure the NAT then u can attach a switch if required and can access....

This is a simple network switch and it doesn't require any drivers. You just connect all the computers & other network devices to it using twisted pair LAN cables and that's it.

Is this a brand new switch? Or did it come from somewhere else? It might have an IP address assigned to it that is interfering with the rest of your network.

Try plugging in a laptop only to the switch and give the laptop a static IP, see if you can access the configuration of the switch.
