Re: Connect a Wireless Router to my SBS Network

Hey Merv thanks for the input. My problem is that I can't get to the browser
interface of the wireless router and therefore cannot input any information.

I suspect it the "LAN side" of your DSL modem-router that is 192.168.1.1.
If you can't set the Airlink up as a WAP (Wireless Acccess Point), you may
need to use it as a router with it's WAN IP set to 192.168.1.2 (static with
GW 192.168.1.1); then change the Airlink's LAN side IP range to 192.168.2.x
with the LAN side of the wireless router set to 192.168.2.1. After that,
turn on DHCP for the wireless portion and test. At that point, a wireless
client should get an IP address of 192.168.2.x.

OK so again I can ping 192.168.1.1 however I can get a repy from the
defualt IP whether or not the wireless is plugged in or not. So there
must be another device out there I'm getting a reply from.
I'm using my laptop with a static IP and a direct connection to the
10/100 5-port switch.

Attach the Airlink to a port on your 5-port switch; give it a static IP
in the same range as the DSL router's LAN side and a gateway of the DSL
router itself; turn off any DHCP service on the DSL router's LAN side;
turn on the Airlink's DHCP service; test to see if a laptop pick's up a
wireless connection from the Airlink.

I got a AirLink 101 54 Mbps 802.11G Wireless Router I want to attach to
my SBS network. I'm a bit unsure as to where I need to place the router
to work best. Here's my environment......

SBS 2003 Premium SP2 w/2 Nics
ISA 2004 SP3

We use a 1.5MB T1 DSL connection for our internet access. Here is the
network topology layout...........

Inbound Internet --> DSL Router --> 10/100 5-port Switch --> External
NIC SBS Server ---> Outbound Internal NIC SBS Server ---> 1GB
Switch ---> Patch Panels

Now I use the 5-port Switch so that I can utilize my additional
external IP's for testing and being outside the firewall. I have 2
other Windows 2003 Standard member servers that I connect directly into
the 1GB Switch.

So my question is where along the line do I place the wireless router.
I tried removing the 10/100 5-port switch and placing it there. I also
tried connecting it to an available port on the 10/100 5-port Switch
which would be outside my firewall which is ok for me.

I would like to use this so that we can have wireless in our conference
room to accomodate guests and clients who have laptops.
