If they've decided to make the port tagged on VLAN n, then the server needs to support VLAN tagging as well. Just because both the switch and the server need to agree on the VLAN it's on doesn't mean there are other tagged VLANs on the port. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
