Hello
Large snip
I tried that to no avail... I will have a play with it again at work
tomorrow and see how it goes. I'll let you know how successful I am.
Cheers for all your help guys :)

The normal way to achieve this is to make one of the ports a trunk
port and connect this to the router. The trunk port will be a member
of all the vlans in tagged mode. Add a sub interface on the router per
vlan (make sure the vlan ID's match) and then the router will handle
all of the routing and the switches will just switch. Unless it a full
layer 3 switch it will not have the routing capabilities.
If you don't have root/admin access to the router then use a spare
Linux box which supports vlans very well.
This sounds very promising... The only thing I have not tried as yet and
it makes sense... Trunk port! I found out today that my router also
supports VLAN tagging so this could be another option if all else fails.
I didn't get a chance to do this today, but I definitely will tomorrow,
so I'll post my results.
Cheers
