Hi, I have now successfully got my PowerConnect 6224 configured, to host and route between 4 Vlans, I have internet access and can ping what I need to, it's all working great. The next thing on my list is configuring my L2 netgear router to work with port based Vlans, I want to connect the L2 switch to port 1/g23 on my PowerConnect 6224, as far as I understand this port needs to be a trunk port that allowes all Vlans, here is my config for the PowerConnect 6224: !Current Configuration: !System Description "Dell 24 Port Gigabit Ethernet, 2.0.1.8, VxWorks5.5.1" !System Software Version 2.0.1.8 !

Second; where have i gone wrong in my configs? Thank you very much for your help.
