    Broadcom NetXtreme (5702) & VLANs

    Does anyone have any experience trying to do VLANs with a Broadcom NetExtreme 5702? Everything I've found says it supports them, but in the Broadcom Advanced Control Suite 2, the option to create a VLAN is greyed out. I've tried a few different driver revisions with no change.

    You aren't really going to sit there and try to argue with me that the government is supposed to take money from the rich and give it to the poor? As ddrueding points out the job of the gov't isn't much. Other than protecting the people in the country from outside influences and aggression...

    Don't worry. I'll make up a story so convincing you'll just have to get that 8 port ProCurve 1800. :p

    Which 24 port "smart" gigabit switch?

    Well, that's just it. The features of either one work, but the 3com is definitely more versatile in the QoS department even being Layer3 aware, as well as offering access restrictions. However, those probably aren't features I'm likely to utilize, at least not in the short term. I don't want...

    Which 24 port "smart" gigabit switch?

    Ok, so I have it narrowed down (I think) to either the HP Procurve 1800-24G or the 3com 2924-SFP. FWIW, the 3com will cost about an extra $4.50 a month to power due to the increased power draw. So, which one do I buy?

    Which 24 port "smart" gigabit switch?

    All of the "smart" gigabit switches I looked at support at least 24 VLANs, with some as many as 255, so I guess they've taken care of that.

    Yes, but my point is that the cord is coiled, and effectively not really 2 meters long despite what Canon says. Not withstanding that, if you are taking flash dominant pictures positioning the flash off to the side away from the camera will give odd shadows. Yes, true portraiture work has...

    I think you're overestimating the reach of the Off Camera Cord 2. IMHO If you only have one flash you should keep it on the camera.

    Which 24 port "smart" gigabit switch?

    Yeah, the HP ProCurve 1800-24G is about $400 from reputable online stores. However I'm still not sure it's the "right" answer to my question or if it's just this week's flavor of the day.

    Can you detail what type of significant issue you've encountered with them. I would suspect that what has been an issue to you, presumably in more of an enterprise environment may not be an issue to me at home. Right now I have an 8 port unmanaged Netgear gigabit switch and I'm reasonably...

    Which 24 port "smart" gigabit switch?

    I'm looking for a 24 port "smart" / quasi-managed gigabit Layer 2 switch (10/100/1000 on all 24 ports). Noise is not an issue. If it matters, this is for my home network. I need VLAN support and jumbo frame support also. I would like the ability to mirror ports as well. I'd like to stay...

    NiMH rechargeable batteries might be better since they handle high current draw situations better than Alkaline batteries and will end up giving you more shots and faster flash recharge. However, you would need several sets of 4 because you may not be able to charge a set by the time the 2nd...

    Gig-E speeds for wired network behind old router

    I might have to try this once I get a 24 port switch. Any suggestions for a 24 port 10/100/1000, VLAN supporting model? (noise not an issue) I've seen some reviewers rave about the Linksys SRW series of switches and all their capability for the price, but the reviews at Newegg are not kind to...

    You don't want the flash off to the side. Ideally you want to keep the flash over the lens (on top), even when the camera is rotated 90 degrees. I use this bracket with a Canon off camera cord. As a word of warning you will not be able to hand hold the camera at the same shutter speeds you...

    There won't be a lot of difference between the 430EX and the 580EX in terms of output. My best advice is to put the camera in Manual mode and let the flash do it's thing. Flash operation in Manual mode is like this: You pick any aperture and shutter speed you want and the flash will fire...

    Gig-E speeds for wired network behind old router

    I looked into all this before, and you're basically SOL for Jumbo frames. You can do the VLAN thing with a switch that supports VLANs, and using 802.1q each of your gigabit NICs will end up looking like two NICs to Windows. In theory that would let you use Jumbo Frames between the two gigabit...
