Dear Lazyweb,
To avoid a repeat of my previous snafu with a Dell PowerConnect 2716 - in which I found that the VLAN functionality didn't work properly with broadcast packets (esp DHCP requests) to my cable modem.

Specifically, I'd love to replace my need for having a separate switch for my external segment vs. my internal segment, with a single switch and two/three VLANs. I tried to do it with the Dell switch, but found disastrously that it just didn't pass the broadcast packets at all :-(. On the plus side, the Dell switch did get me the jumbo frames that I wanted.

So, does anybody have a Linksys SRW2016 or SRW2024 and can report on how well they work with DHCP packets over VLAN-segregated networks?

Dear Lazy-Web,

I haven't needed to use the lazy-web before, there something I saw in the past, and can't find again. Several years ago, I read about a survey (taken of programmer's partner's), that correlated the programmer's programming language with their Libido. I seem to be recall that Java came out tops, and there were remarks about "it just leaves you wanting to conquer more".

Links appreciated.
