| Can you tell use what kind of network hardware you using to setup the Vlan and
| how it's configured?

Yeah.

The first question I'd ask is: are packets as seen by either device
tagged?  VLAN tags might confuse or change the bhaviour of the firewall or
the Rogers equipment.

I guess the zeroth question might be: which VLAN standard is being
used.  I assume 802.1q <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.1Q>
Is the switch adding other crud like QOS?  Any other packet munging?

(I'm just starting to learn about VLAN's.  I just bought a Netgear
GS108e.  I don't completely know what it's capable of since the
manuals seem to assume you already know what they should be telling
you.  I know what I want to do but the manuals don't say whether it is
possible and Netgear's support forums for it require you to own one to
read or post!)
