I have a cable modem (Hitron CGN2-ROG) connected to a switch which lights up so I assume it recognizes the modem, from the switch I have various ports around the house when I connect a port with my laptop the switch port lights on but I get no connection to the internet.

I have double check all my ports and the cabling is fine, when i connect my laptop directly to my cable modem I receive a connection to the web, but through my ethernet ports in the house i get no connection.

Also when I had DSL internet this wasn't an issue I'm think its got something to due with the cable modem but I am not too sure.
