You can? Well, you can, but it won't work..... If you spread a single IP subnet across multiple VLANs (and don't use bridging which as you pointed out defeats the purpose of the VLANs), all ARPing (broadcasts) abilites will cease to function across the VLAN boundaries, and any clients on VLAN 1 (or 2) won't be able to ARP and talk directly to the clients in in the other VLAN, thus effectively "breaking" the TCP/IP subnet from working..... You say you can put 2 physical segments in the same logical (IP) network (subnet), but again, without bridging, the clients in one physical network won't be able to broadcast ARP for the MACs of other PCs in the same subnet that are on the other physical segment.... again, the IP subnet would be "broken" Mike W.
