[SunHELP] Switch

[Shawn Tagseth]

I found this at another employer I once had.  They were on a tight budget so
the parts I used weren't what I would call optimal. 

I had some problems (slow transfers/lots of errors) with an ultra 5 and
plugged into a no-name brand 10Base-T only hub (even after disabling
autonegotiation and hard coding /etc/system to 10-half).  I had a small
D-link 100/10 (Dss 8+, was about $150CDN) switch I brought in and it seemed
to clear up the problems (I hard coded /etc/system to 100-full just because
I could).   They have since replaced it with a 3-com 8 port switch (haven't
been there for a while so I don't have the model) and it seems to work just
fine too.  

About two years ago the dss 8+ had power supplies that would melt but thats
all good now.

Can you guys recommend a good 4 port (4-8 port anyway)
switch, or hub that is KNOWN to work well with Ultra
10s?  We had been using Netgear 10/100 4 ports, but
seem to be having problems with them, in fact to the
point we suspect the bub has fouled up the integrated
NIC.....  still reasearching, but in the mean time I'd
like to get a hub I know is GOOD, preferably a switch,
so I can plug it into the local network also....

Thanks,
Peer
