I have the switch cabled up via console and also from my ps's lan port to a switch port. My end goal is to manage the switch through a switch port and not the console. I can make changes to the config. I can ping vlan 1 from the switch but I cannot ping the switch from the pc and vice versa. They have the same subnet mask and are in the same network. The config has all the necessary passwords and as far as I can tell the config is good. I can post it if necessary.

Please post config but remove password line for security purposes.
Make sure you have vty, ssh, and console command lines entered correctly.

What kind of VLAN are you setting up a Layer 1 (Port access) or Layer 2 (ARP Access). If it is a layer 1 which most are, then chances are you might have the cable in the wrong port.

Is there a setting in vista that I can make changes to the Lan port? What could possibly be wrong with it? I have all of my ports in VLAN1 so the wrong port theory shouldn't be the case.
Thanks for the feedback

OK, kinda strange to set all of your ports on one VLAN but not unheard of. Can you send us your Running Config, redacting your passwords of course?

Just added a static IP (In the correct network with correct mask) to the PC's NIC. Gonna test it tomorrow.

ace_omega: VLAN1 is the default vlan for all ports by default. It is also the main management vlan, so this makes perfect sense.
forbidden403: most likely culprit is that a command has been forgotten somewhere. Checking the config is the easiest way to spot the issue. Multiple eyes on the problem can sometimes find the things that one set would overlook. :)

Sorry for the delay, I'll get that config up tonight or tomorrow afternoon. Thanks for the help everyone.

If you are pinging from your pc or to your pc make sure all software firewalls on the pc are turned off.
