I never buy D-Link again. My 8 port 100 Mbps el-cheapo D-link switch at home would lock itself up every two-three days or so under moderate traffic. At work, for a temporary little network, we bought two 8 port D-Link 1 Gbps switches. These also locked up, and this was with high-end hardware (IBM pSeries) attached to them. A not-too-expensive unmanaged 16 port 3Com switch works great. -- Jurjen Oskam
