Re: DHCP Questions

Unless you are putting the two network cards in the server on different
address ranges, disable one of them and leave it disconnected. You really,
REALLY don't want two network cards in the same address range in the same
server.

What exactly do yo mean ?

When i make the server a DHCP Server.. doesnt it automatically assign
addresses to the LAN once its on the switch?

I think - and take this with a grain of salt, as I am not familiar with your
firewall - you should hook up the T1 modem to the firewall, then the
firewall to the D-Link router, then all PCs to the router. That should
maximize protection and minimize exposure.

The only change I'd make to the above is if you are running a domain on your
network - if so, then disable DHCP on the router and turn it and DNS on
within the network. Otherwise let the router hand out addresses since this
is a much simpler set-up for a simple network.

Cool...

Thanks... But Once I enable DHCP on that server that I'm making the
DHCP What is the configuration... Does the T1 Modem plug directly in
the firewall then to the Server?

What about the D Link? I 'm i hooking that up to the switch? The DHCP
Server has two NIC Cards.. Does that assist in anything?

To add to Kurt's advice - "all those public static IPs" are not to worry
about. Those addresses will not be visible inside your network if it is
configured correctly. NAT should be turned on at the router to add a
layer
of protection between your network and the rest of the world.
