Re: Best Config for LAN

I would leave the server with just the gigabit wired NIC, give the XP
pro both wired and wireless NICs and bridge them. Connect the wired NICs in
the Pro and the server with your crossover cable. All NICs (wired and
wireless) would be in the 192.168.0 subnet. All machines would use the
wireless router as their gateway router. No need to use ICS - the wireless
router will already be doing NAT.

Hi,

That would certainly work, however the reason for the wireless connection
is I would need about 20 meteres of Cat5e just to get to the first
machine, run outside the house and through an external wall. Perfectly
possible as I already have a couple of conduits through the external
walls, but it is far easier to have wireless.

However, my real question is how to configure the IP subnet/s to get what
I want.

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
