Hi Caph

Putting aside Qasi's much loved manner (!) he's completely right. You've given him the benefit of the doubt by reason of the addressable ports. That should be the end of it. But you've gone on to talk of the SH being a "cheap hub" not an "intelligent switch" - whatever the latter means.

The Sh is cheap but the switch section is not a hub because the ports are addressable from the router. You can't have it both ways. Or have I misunderstood something?
