Connection between switch and laptop/PC

[harryhumble]

Good morning,

I am trying to connect a laptop and PC to a switch which is connected to a server. The connection will not work between the Laptop or PC to the switch, despite the DHCP being established and there is just one interface [FastEthernet0] for the network. I have attached the packet tracer screenshot below. I've spent a lot of time trying to understand why it won't work, and I could be missing something obvious but not sure. I have tried to ping the IP addresse of the server on command prompt but to no avail - both the laptop and PC are switched on.

did PC get IP from server? is it in the same subnet as server (i think i see server IP on 192.168.80.x/24) ? Is interface ON?  is DHCP service enabled on server?  there is a default range set up on DHCP service tab but service may have to be turn on; 

if all above is true, all ports on switch must be in the same vlan x; by default vlan  1 is ok 

Regards, ML
