Ditto on positive experiences with Stone; had the odd hardware problem (couple of PSUs, one All-In-One Enlight chassis out of 30 came without hard glass, replaced next day, buttons do stick on one or two towers) but way above average in terms of sales and support based on experiences with others. Must admit we stick to desktops with them, but also had good experiences talking servers. Much rather be dealing with the UK call centre of Stone than the alternative overseas one of the bigger manufacturers! Will reevaluate if things change but do put value on the relationship with them, and prices have always been in right ballpark with negotiations always available if needed....

Would be interested in any update from those involved; got Meru and looking at Impero (and other options!) so would be handy to know outcome....

Hope this helps; been seeing similar problems with GS724TS (rest of switches are straight GS724T or GS748T). DHCP fails or is slow to pull, can't PXE. Been going backwards and forwards with Netgear support with no joy. Had a random conversation on a course last week where it was suggested I turn off Spanning on the GS724TS (under Switching / STP). It's enabled by default on the stackable, and disabled on the non-stackable. Turning it off on stackable has cleared up our problems, but be aware it won't prevent loopbacks any longer... Appreciate this may be a little late for you, but may help others who've been scratching their heads for a while like me...!
