Assuming you are trying to connect Modem > Switch > Router but you must connect it Modem > Router > Switch. The modem will only assign a single public IP address to the first connected device, which must be the router. The router then assigns private IP addresses to all your devices.

Yes I am trying to attach modem, router, switch.

from router to switch you use one output to the switch input check this since all device connected to switch should on ouput except the one from router .

Well it should be straightforward then; with switch connected to a numbered LAN port, devices should connect with no other configuration necessary. Are the port lights indicating a good connection? Have you tried a different cable? Do devices connected to the switch get a valid IP address? What is the make and model of the switch?

Those connections are fine and have been checked.

what happens if you connect the modem directly to switch and then a pc to one of the output do you have any signal .
