Re: Best Config for LAN

Buy a wired/wireless router and hook the desktops directly to the wired
ports.

I will be installing a Win2K3 server into my Wireless LAN.

The current config is a Wireless Router at 192.168.0.1, XPpro at
192.168.0.2 and XPhome at 192.168.0.3.

The server will be physically next to the XPpro machine and I have a
chance to connect just these two with Fast Ethernet at 1 Gigabit via
crossover cat 5e. I can fit a wireless NIC to the server.

I want to keep the wireless connection on the XP machines for internet
connectivity, but am not sure about the best way to get internet
connectivity on the server. 1) Should I try and route thru the XPpro with
ICS enabled (change IP), or 2) fit a wireless card to the server on the
router subnet, and use another subnet range for the Gigabit connection
only? Either way I'm guessing there will have to be some static routes
setup on the router, server, or both.

Regards
Terry
