I have just setup someline very similar for a client of mine.
1. Windows 2003 SBS
2. Two Desktop Clients(cat5)
3. Two Laptops(wifi)
4. A Netcomm NB5580W
So far, the way i have done the setup is turning the DHCP server off the
NB5580, and setup DHCP on the server. My reasons behind doing this was:
1. Creater control over the VPN access (thought the DHCP)
2. Better setup for DNS(able to set internal and external servers for
relivant traffic routing)
This is a rought setup of the IP setup for the client.
IP Range: 192.168.0.0/24
Static IP Range - 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.10(use for printers, routers
etc....)
Dynamic IP Range - 192.168.0.11 - 192.168.0.254(use for desktops and
laptops)
The server is 192.168.0.1
The router is 192.168.0.5(a reservation IP is set in the DHCP Server to make
sure nothing else gets this IP)
In the DHCP Server config i have told it to assign all connected PC's to use
192.168.0.5 as the default router. The Primary DNS server is the win2k3
machine(192.168.0.1, this means that all local internal network traffic
stays local), the secondary is the router(most routers these days have DNS
Proxy which passes on all DNS traffic to the ISP that its connected with
provided they auto-assign DNS Servers to there connected clients).
Any laptops that come into the office and use the wireless they are still on
a restricted access to the network soley because they need have have
user/pass to get access to any of the desktops, laptops or server. all they
have is basic access to the internet(and thats all they need).
I hope this helps with some of your questions.
If you want any further information, please feel free to let me know.
Kind Regards
