Help - I am out of ideas

Just in case that you did not check:

1. Check Connection/LAN/Detect Settings - should be checked.
2. Check Network and Sharing
Center/LAN/Properties/IPV4/Properties/General/Obtain IP Address *and* Obtain
DNS... - both should be checked; same for IPV6.
3. Network and Sharing Center/Local Area Connection Status/Diagnose
4. Do you have any other devices connected to the switch - try without any
other device connected.

What is the make/model of your switch?

Sounds like a DNS problem to me
