Hi Zorba,

How many nics do you have in your server?
One should be connected to a hub/switch that is connecting to the other
workstations.

Like I said, I always use a laptop or workstation to connect directly to the
router just to configure it. Most of the times those routers have
dhcp-server setup and that is not what I want. So after configuring the
router, you attach it to your server, preferably on the 2nd nic.

Workstations do not connect directly to the router, but to the server
(through hub/switch).
