hi both :) We have ~ 20 clients attached to a 24port 100mb+2gigabits (either ethernet or fiber plugs). 100mb has been fine to the clients, thankfully the switch backplane is ~ 3.6gb, so we have heaps of room for the clients. do you put > 100mb over your client links, or would a similar switch work for you? the one meantioned above is a netgear. kk > > I would be interested to hear about a recommendation too. > > rgds, > > uwe > > > Quoting Sameer Verma <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > This is a bit peripheral.
