Many consumer-grade switches effectively turn into hubs when more than 1023
MAC addresses are seen on a network.  This may be done intentionally by
somebody attempting to eavesdrop on all network connections sent through
the switch.  A reboot of the switch might (temporarily) remedy the problem,
but you'd be better off getting an enterprise-grade switch that does not
exhibit such misbehavior.
