Connecting my Pismo to the Internet (via DHCP) using a D-Link Switch here at work causes Internet explorer to appear to deny cookies even though I have the setting to "never ask".
Removing the switch and connecting the PB directly to the RJ45 socket and everything works as it should.
That's a rather weird occurrence. Switches don't do anything to packets other than send them to the correct port on the switch based on the destination MAC address in the packet. They perform no routing, they do not look at the data load of the packet or anything like that. Cookies are pretty high up in the OSI model (application layer I think). and so the switch should not be affecting them at all.
What model dlink switch is this? If anything, I'd suspect that the switch is bad and corrupting packets possibly. When you hook the Pismo to the RJ 45 jack instead of the switch, are you using the exact same port that the switch is connected to when you do this, or another empty port in the wall jack?
