Hi All,
 
Firstly, NTC doesn't have a general hardware forum, so I posted here.
 
Basically what the subject says; recommendations on a 4 port switch with a wireless access point and ADSL modem. The important thing is that it NEEDS to support local loopback;
 
ie..
 
Router Internal IP: 192.168.0.1
Router WAN IP: 195.265.254.125 (made up)
 
If I enter the WAN IP address in my browser (on a LAN PC), I should see the sites that I'm hosting on my LAN's web server (forwarding on port 80 having been setup). This would happen with local loopback... without it I would see the routers web interface!
 
I checked out Netgear's DG834G which was perfect for me, but it doesn't support loopback (most, if not all of Netgear's routers are like this).
 
Anyone know of another product which would fit the bill?
 
TIA
