# Connection problem

## Question

Asked by laura107 on 2015-01-29 in Ethernet Chips.

Hello everybody, I am able to ping the wiznet if the computer is in the same switch, if the computer is in another switch of the network I can’t ping it nor connect to it. I have no idea what can be causing this. Otherwise everything works fine, I can send and received data via SPI, connect, ping it, as long as the computers are in the same switch than the WIZNET. Thanks for the help

Hi,

What is IP address of W5500 and switch??
You should use private IP address for other network.
