Thanks Frank,
I have purchased one static IP address. I use Charter and the way they work
here is: Either a Router or NIC connected to the cable modem will be
assigned a static IP address. It is assigned by the MAC address of the
device. They have to change things on their end whenever I decide to
connect a different Router or NIC to the modem. The techs on the phone call
it a "sticky ip" not a "true static IP" I can put a hub or switch on the
modem and connect up to 3 devices. Each could have a reserved static
although we can't afford that. My experience is that the IP will not change
unless the device does. I want the guaranteed IP for my web site so I pay
them. I want to provide internet access for wirless clients without them
having access to the domain. I would like for them to also have access to a
printer. If I want to use the domain resources with wireless clients we can
VPN in. I'm thinking maybe I shoud put a switch on the modem then two
routers on the switch. One would be a Linksys 4 port Standard Cable Router
the other a NetGear 4 port Cable Router with Wireless capability. I already
own these routers. I'll have the static IP assigned to the Linksys and use
a Dynamic IP on the wireless NetGear. The Linksys would go to the Server's
external NIC and the wireless NetGear would just sit there waiting for
wireless clients. I could just go straight from the switch to the Server's
external NIC? Still don't know how complicated all this will be with the
addition of ISA 2000? Also with this plan does anyone know if I could
easily provide a printer to occasional wireless clients? I guess I could
add an old computer and printer to the NetGear wirless router? Seems kind
of inefficient though? Could domain users acess this workgroup printer?
TIA
Steve
