To elaborate on Philip's response, is the D-Link a managed switch that you can log into and configure or just a dumb switch that you simply plug things into and that's that? If configurable, is the port connecting to the MS also configured as a trunk port? If it is just a dumb switch or is managed but the port is configured as an access port, then this explains the behavior you're observing. In order for traffic to pass between two switch ports, the switch modes (trunk/access) must match. All dumb switches, like Linksys, Belkin, and generally D-Link, have all their ports set in access mode by default, and there's no way to change that. If you have a requirement to trunk one or more VLANs across that link, then you may have the wrong gear to do so. If not, then you can just set it to access mode on the MS and call it a day! Hope this helps! -Rob
