VLAN connection and switch suggestion

Hi,

I would appreciate if someone could check if my project is in the right
direction. Basically I need to implement two VLans both connected to the
internet through a ADSL router that works also as the DHCP server:

Internet -> (ADSL) router (DHCP) -> switch -> VLan1 and VLan2

Could you also suggest an unexpensive switch I could use for this project ?

Thank you very much in advance,
Best regards,

Ricardo

How many ports do you need? Any security features? Multicast? etc?

Actually, it is a very small network. There are only 4 computers in the same
small office. 2 computers must not have access to the other two, because one
group of 2 computers are msn and skype users and the office owner consider it
as a security issue to the other computers where they run business
applications. Each single computer runs locally the Norton Internet Security
software, in order to avoid investment on a firewall computer.

So, the solution to this scenario would be a layer 2 switch that may
implement 2 VLans, but I don´t know also.

I am concerned about:
a) if we must have a layer 3 switch, besides we won't have traffic between
the 2 Vlans
b) if the DHCP would serve the 4 computers.

For my project draft, I am considering the following:


| Internet
|
V
| (ADSL) [200.xxx.xxx.xxx]
|
| Router DSLink 200e
|
| (DHCP) [gateway 192.168.0.1]
|
V
|
| New switch layer 2 equipment
|
-------------------------------------------
| |
V (VLan1) V (VLan2)
| |
----------- ------------
| | | |
V V V V
Comp1 Comp2 Comp3 Comp4
(192.168.0.x)


Thank you very much !

The Router DSLink 200e router can provide DHCP for the two PC's that will
have internet access (vlan1). The other two PC's (in vlan2) can get a DHCP
address from the switch. That will allow you to buy a layer 2 only switch.
