hi im not sure how the server is configured..it was done
before i got here...all i know is that there are blank
settings in the TCP/IP window on the server, and a router
is plugged into the switch which all the connections are
plugged into as well.
Also on the client the settings i gave you, came up
automatically...even though there are blank settings
(automatically detect) in the TCP/IP window on the client
as well. What can i do to fix this situation, whether it
be reconfiguring the server or workstation to have static
IP settings?? or do i reconfigure the workstation to go
directly to the router??
I need help!
please advise, thank you
