Any Network Techs?

on a serious note...

1) Plug all your devices into your cisco unmanaged switch.
2) unplug your Sonic wall from your cisco switch (for now)
3) shutdown all your gear.
4) turn on your switch, bring up your domain server(??), then your pcs and then your printer
5) if you know the ip address of all your devices, start doing a ping test to them from your computers.
6) then see if you can connect your printer etc etc.
7) if you like what you see out of your test results, plug for sonic firewall into your switch

Now...all these steps will be worthless IF your Sonic firewall is acting as a DHCP server and handing out ip address.
