Re: Netgear 8 port switch help
EDIT:
Right just to update you all, in the end I opted for the TP-Link TL-SG108E 8 port gigabit Easy Smart Switch as no store around my town had any Netgear ones..
It didn't quite go as smoothly as I expected, as the default IP address of it is the same as the Shub, and after a bit of playing around with the included Easy Smart Configuration Utility, I was able to successfully change the tp-link's IP to 192.168.0.24 (which is the last IP address in the pool), rebooted and it all works perfectly, even managed to update its firmware too! Only downside I have found is that it didn't come with even a short patch lead, so I will have to purchase a permanent lead for it :-)
Thanks all for listening!
Arty.
