Michael,

Thinking about it would this make a difference, or should this work? The
Win2000 workstations I refer to are connected to the 4 port switch.

I have a main "router" hub which has some computers wired to it and I
connected a 4 port switch to it. Is it possible that workstations connected
to the 4 port switch would not be able to see other workstations directly
connected to the main router hub. Workstations connected to the Router can
see the workstations on the 4 port switch. Should this work both ways?
