And my last sentence is where you'll get "problems" with your ISP ! It will append if you're leaking undue ethernet packets to the PPPoE gateway : any broadcast or anything unknown to your dumb switch will be submitted to your ISP's good will. So... don't make your ISP grumpy. ;-)
aha!
You better have to use a not-so-dumb switch on which you can affect/group ports all-together (without any VLAN tagging) and isolate them from any other data traffic from other ports. There's always a way to leak something by misconfiguration or by plugin-in other clients on your switch (even if you put red-tape on unused ports... someone will do that one day or another!).
OK I guess best bet is to invest in a longer cat6 cable. Thanks for the tip.
