Hi, I work in a school as teacher's help in labs. The school's tecnician has implemented a VLAN with a switch 3COM Superstack2. I can't access this device cause I don't have phisical privileges :-) The switch is linked to some HUBs, each one handle a laboratory as a VLAN. I don't know the IDs of the VLAN. I've implemented a GNU/Linux Terminal Server lab on one of thoose HUBS. I can ping the PCs on the HUB but not the School's GATEWAY (192.168.57.252) I need to go on the internet). I've sniffed with TCP dump some packages directed to a Windows station on "my" HUB and I've noticed a 802.q infomation, and an ID: 1 I've got a picture of Etherreal if needed. So I've tried on a Debian Testing with 802.1q module loaded, an IP static (checked its not used) assigned by me, and using vconfig add eth0 1 I still can't ping the gateway. The tecnical tells me he has used 802.1p to make the VLANs work on Windows... now I don't know what to check and I have no clue...
