Therefore I assume that the switch is the issue, it either doesn't speak to the external network or it doesn't speak to your machine. Generally you would use a router rather than a switch to get to the net, so hopefully this is just using the wrong term and not the whole wrong hardware. Or the router may be configured to provide DHCP, and ignore any IP address it doesn't provide.
