They're all 3Com switches, and no I'm not up to speed on configuring them - this is the first time I've tried to put together anything this complicated.
I was hoping to get some idea on what needs to be done and then go away and learn the necessary. I'm starting to get that sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach that tells me that this really isn't going to be as simple as I had hoped it would

Wasn't planning on a DHCP/DNS strategy, was hoping to use fixed IPs as that removes a lot of other complications.
I think you're right though, this is going to be way out of my league for a while - trouble is that I really have to do it, I can see some serious learning and head-banging ahead
Thanks though.
