Hi DaneA
Thanks for the link, that answered a lot of questions for me. My setup is slightly more complicated than the example, with three switches involved, with the PC being connected to switch 3 and the router connected to switch 1. Are there any further things that I need to consider with having three switches? I notice that under the section heading "To assign the ports and set the port VLAN IDs:", point 3 the screenshot shows port 1 has been tagged. Do I need to tag any ports on any of the three switches?
Thanks

The ports connecting the switches should be set as tagged ports because its a trunk link. For example: port 5 of Switch 1 is connected to port 5 of Switch 2. Then, port 6 of Switch 2 is connected to port 6 of Switch 3. Port 5 of both Switch 1 and Switch 2 should be set as tagged port with a PVID of 1 and should be a member of all VLANs. The same goes with port 6 of both Switch 2 and Switch 3 should also be set as tagged port with a PVID of 1 and should be a member of all VLANs.
