24 ports is probably too many for a small home or office network and almost $200 too much to spend. But do you see a managed switch in your future?

For those of you looking for the article I mentioned on setting up VLANs, it's not written yet.

In the meantime, try this setup info for a Dell PowerConnect switch. The setup screens aren't exactly the same, but the basic concepts of assigning ports to MULTIPLE, OVERLAPPING VLANs are described.

Please post a comment if it helped you.

I cannot wait until it has finally been written.

YAY!!
