Re: Server/Network setup question

Great diagram. Thanks.

Two questions: The internal LAN address range, according to the diagram,
should be 192,168.1.x. The external address should be 192.168.1.10 or any
address within the same subnet as the router. Currently, I have several
devices, namely a rented printer installed and configured by the printer
company to use address 192.168.1.20. Once I add my server and assign the
addresses according to the diagram, this printer will cease to work and I
will need to call the not-very-responsive printer company back in to
reconfigure the printer. Since my company is actively doing business, I
would prefer to avoid this if at all possible. I have have a wireless print
server with a static address also in the 192.168.1.x range. My question is
this: must the internal addresses be 192.168.16.x or can they remain as the
are (192.168.1.x) and the external address could be something else?

Also: my wireless connectivity will cease to work when I add the server
between the modem/wireless router, hence the suggestion for a wap, yes?

Thanks!

Take a look at the diagram at: (works for SBS 2003 with or without ISA)

For wireless for the LAN workstations, I would buy a Wireless Access Point
(WAP) and connect it to the "hub" (which really should be a "switch") on the
LAN side of that diagram.

I have a windows 2003 SBS w/ 2 net cards. My internet connection is via a
DSL wireless modem/router combined. Currently, the one ethernet port on
modem/router runs into a hub which provides connectivity for the clients
on
the LAN. Wireless also works.

Given my current configuration, what is the best place to interject the
server?

Thanks
