[lug] Re: switch

[Hugh Brown]

I powered it off and powered it back on again and all seems to be working again.  Can any one clue me
in on what makes a switch go brain dead?

Also, why don't things work when I plug the cable from the internal nic on the firewall to the uplink
port (it works if I choose a different port)?

I am relatively clueless when it comes to networking.  What are some good resources to help me know
what is going on with these things?
