Re: Server/Network setup question

Thanks Merv and SuperGumby.

I guess my goal was to try to minimize the amount of time spent getting the
server in place as well as the impact to existing users and devices on the
network. I had hoped to be able to just add the server, get it configured
correctly, and then have everything keep working. Guess I had better
schedule some maintenance time.

The laptops on my network go wireless.

I wanted to phase in the server -- first just get connectivity and routing
going, then add a switch, then migrate email from Pop3 to Exchange, then
focus on SQL and client/server apps.

I think that approach will still work, but I may have the laptops use an
eternet connection until I am sure that phase I is solid, then add a wap. I
prefer to minimize the number of changes that I make at one time.

Thanks again for your help.

Your internal SBS LAN IP range can be any private IP scheme you like
(172.x.x.x, 10.x.x.x, 192.x.x.x). 192.168.16.x is just the SBS 2003
default. The LAN side of your router is probably set up as 192.168.1.x now
and will need to be changed to another subnet (like 192.168.2.x) if you're
going to use the 192.168.1.x scheme for your internal SBS LAN.

Correct about the WAP since, once you get your SBS network set up, the
wireless router will be outside your LAN.

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
