Hi all!

on 21-June-2009 (titled "Programming Red Flags") was moved a week later to 28-

Never used gigabit at home, or with small switches.

I had several edimax 100mbit 8port ones, and so far most if not all of
them died after a few years of use. I now have a Level1 switch, but only
for a few months, so I can't tell how well it survives over time.

At work we use Cisco switches, but that's not cheap at all.

No, it's not High Learn. It's an in house software that seems to be
developed by openu. Anyway, the website it self is not the problem,
the whole system is quite workable with Firefox / Chrome, the IT
department at openU is actually quite aware of standards and browser
interoperability.

The problem is that the lectures them self were created with a stupid
thing called "Microsoft Producer"[1] which requires an ActiveX plugin
to make it even start. So I must have a IE browser fully working with
sound, popups and everything to view the lectures.

Suggestions?

Define "Cheap" ?

I have tens of D-Link
DGS-1008Dat work, and
they all work flawlessly for 1-2 years already. Of course, your
mileage may vary.

Can someone recommend a good switch (not hub) and a price or URL/phone
where to buy?


And please keep it on-list, as I'm looking for one, too.
The "gigabit" part is tricky.
