It has nothing to do with N.O.S; it has to do with what the MANUFACTURER of the NIC produces for DRIVERS on a given platform!
... and as far as I know, if it is supported on *nix, it definitely is supported on M$. The CHIPSET of the NIC depicts what type of VLAN support is provided- NOT THE O.S.! The same is true for the ASICs in the Routers and Switches, which is why some Routers and Switches only support ISL and others support both. -Mark -----Original Message----- From: thinkworker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, November 30, 2002 2:05 AM To: Mark W.
