    Hey all,

    I'm looking for a 32 port 10\100 switch. I can only seem to find 24 ports on the net....the switch I have at the moment is 32 port but it only operates at 10mbps, I want to upgrade to 100mbps

    I haven't seen a 32-port Ethernet switch for a long time - they're not all that common. The standard sizes are 24 and 48 port. You'll probably have to get 1 x 48 port or 2 x 24 port and uplink them (preferably over gigabit).

    The switch I'm using at the moment is a bit of a dinosaur alright.....is there much of a price difference between a 24 and a 48 port?

    They still make them (Intellinet, Cnet and Cisco for example). But I don't know where you'd get the first two in Ireland, and the Cisco costs two and a half grand! Just buy a 48 port one instead!

    My advice would be to take a look on www.dabs.co.uk. They'll have a big stock of networking gear so you can get a decent idea of what is available in your price range.
