Budget constraints lead to me having to purchase Netgear managed switches (as opposed to something a little more traditionaly robust) a couple of years ago. They *were* horrible. Dropped packets, network slowdowns, entire print jobs vanishing. . . that sort of thing. I was forced to go back to some daisy chained hubs while I had it out with Netgear. A couple of firmware flashes later and everything's just fine. I still wonder how a company could have let a (highly priced) piece of equipment out the door in that state though, they should be ashamed. --J(K) -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
