Internet + Cable modem + Gigabit Switch + Computer (Ethernet) = unidentified network?
Computer (Ethernet) connects to Gigabit Switch (TP-LINK TL-SG108) connects to Cable Modem Zoom 5341J = unidentified network
If I do:
Computer (Ethernet) connects to Cable Modem Zoom 5341J = it works.
Any idea what happens when I connect to the Gigabit Switch? How do I fix it?

Here's a list of things I have tried:
Powering off the Cable Modem Zoom.
Powering off the Gigabit Switch.
Restart computer (Windows 7).

Well first of all, Why are you wanting to connect your modem to a switch? Without a router that is pointless...
Hmm.
Does this mean:
Internet + Cable modem + router + Gigabit Switch + Computer (Ethernet)?
If this is the right setup, then I won't be able to get the full speed from ISP. I have 150Mbps Internet plan.
The router only has 100M port.

But seriously, the issue is defined by the first reply. You must have a piece of equipment that connects to the cable modem and then provides network to other devices via NAT. You are not going to get an ip from the Cable modem because it is set to give only a single ip address out to the single MAC attached to it (in this case the switch and not your computer). So, without a router in between the cable modem and switch your setup will not work.
Cheers!
You either HAVE to use a Router or just 1 computer no exceptions.
If your router only has a 100MB port then buy a Router that has a 1GB port
Holy crap. Just do a search for Wired Routers. It's over $100 for 1000Mbps port.

@Chuck take the TP-Link one. Got some great experience with TP-Link here.
if you are going for TP-Link routers, don't expect to pull over 100mbps if you are going to be doing ipsec on the router itself. the processor on TP-Link routers are garbage.
