Huh? Switches don't have IP addresses. (Well, ok, managed switches
do, but that's only for managing them...)
My LAN is configured like you want yours to be: PCs plug into
switch, and the switch plugs into the router.
What might be the problem is that you are using the "uplink" port
(on the switch) when you shouldn't, or are using a cross-over cable
when you shouldn't.

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
