To answer your questions. When I said, switches I meant switches. The standard 8 port ones from Dlink/SMC which come for 1050-1800 Rs. Router is a 802.11b Wireless ADSL Router with 3 port switch built in. Why Rebooting: I have used 3-4 wireless adsl routers in the past 4-5 years from various companies and have observed that from time to time my connectivity is lost. (both wireless and wired). This is resolved by restarting the router. Not an exact science, but the routers I have seen are more prone to breakdowns than the switches and therefore the need to redundancy. Since earlier, the 3 switches were talking to each other via the router, a failure in the router would mean LAN down too till someone powers down the router and powers it up again. Maybe it's a firmware problem or maybe I was plain unlucky with the pieces I had. But thats what it was. Abhi __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
