In the future, do you want some sort of slick generic comment? If that is the goal I can provide that, I just know I wouldn't appreciate it if roles were reversed.
You lacked a specified problem or question, you only had kind of a vague request. A request which is currently filled to some extent by the FAQs on support.dlink.com. I had made the assumption that you had seen them since this forum is linked from our support site, and you have obviously been thorough about looking for documentation. I apologize for that.
I had read your post as you were looking for was peers to provide whatever generalised documentation they had come across that might assist in your edification. Perhaps I had read that wrong as well.
That said we can't teach you networking, it is not pretty, but it is true. I have no problem with you trying to learn the product, and wish you the best of luck, but we can't take the place of some real background knowledge of what you are trying to accomplish and why.
I am sorry if you feel abandoned, but I would be giving you a false impression if I told you that we can take the place of your knowledge of the technologies involved. We are here to help, but we couldn't teach you networking if we wanted to.
It is worth noting that I am posing as Fatman, not as D-Link Employee #12345, I post my own thoughts and opinions, where I care to, not some script that has been handed to me for all takers. Those are my orders, orders I am proud to have as opposed to being told to simply pacify customers with a slick generic comment.
Have I misunderstood this situation?
How can I help?
