Should do just fine. Tbh you can over-analyze on something so cheap (I know as I do it myself often) - point is unless you're using very cranky kit you'll be just fine with anything you put in so long as it's from a reasonable name.

Anyway, I just found a GS105 Netgear switch for $30 on Amazon, with like a $10 mail-in rebate. :-) -----Original Message----- From: Paul Hutchings [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, February 04, 2011 2:39 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: desktop network switches What's your core switch? Just buy something that is a known reputable brand and at this level, unless you have some really crazy gear in there, you'll be fine. I'd probably go Procurve simply because they're cheap and come with a good warranty.

Manager) that has a network port on it as well as the usual USB. He'd like to be able to network it so he can print to it from the AS/400. What do you guys recommend for a small (4-5 port) network switch? To anyone who wants to know, this is for real, looking for recommendations for a RIGHT NOW purchase, not "next time." :-) Thanks! ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin -- MIRA Ltd Watling Street, Nuneaton, Warwickshire, CV10 0TU, England Registered in England and Wales No. 402570 VAT Registration GB 100 1464 84 The contents of this e-mail are confidential and are solely for the use of the intended recipient.
