Great suggestion. Here is what I accomplished up till now.

I have the switch now hooked up to the INT Nic and my wired clients to it.
They suppringly all have connectivity to the server and the internet.

So now it just my wireless systems.

In your post you suggest the router in front of the server, like I have it
connected now. In other posts I read they say connect the modem to the EXT
nic, and put a WAP on the switch for wireless connectivity.

Can I simply remove the wireless router in front of my EXT bnic and just
replace the wireless by attaching the WAP? or do I still need the router in
front of the server.

I cannot ping the server from my wireless connection.

Thanks,
