There are limits to the number of switches in line of an Ethernet connection. You can't just daisey chain switch into switch into switch forever. In my house, the broadband comes into a firewall/nat and then to a switch, which talks to home runs of CAT5 to each location. So there is already a switch between my Transporter and a router. One more is allowed by the spec, but I think that's the limit. Wire is nearly free, its the labor to pull it that costs big bucks. I've pulled nearly 1600 linear feet of Cat5 cable in my house, and its only a 2000 sqft center hall colonial. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
