hmmmm.... I've got a Linksys gigabit switch connected to my trio server (pii 400 win2k server with gigabit card) and my tunes are on another computer with gigabit ethernet on the motherboard (Piv 3ghz winxp pro) which is also connected to the gigabit switch. Then the gigabit switch is uplinked to a 16port 10/100 linksys switch which connects to an 8port linksys 10/100 switch and a belkin 10/100 wireless 4port hub which connects to a 10mbps 3com hub.

There are receivers on every switch/hub and I have no problems (just wish I could get trio working wirelessly).
