Hello, So I'm trying something new here, setting up Windows Server 2003.
The Dell server has it preinstalled, but before I started the machine it came up telling me that I need to have the server fully connected to the live network before going into the 2003 PreInstalled Setup. So, the server has two Network Cards. It says to plug one card into the main LAN Router (8 pport 1GB linksys switch), and plug the other one into the WAN (Speedstream ADSL router). Does this then use the Windows Server as some sort of router between the Internet (ADSL) and the local network? Can I just have everything flat and connect the Server directly to the switch along with the ADSL connection? Doing it the other way seems to be more..complicated to me. Any advice/suggestions? Never done this before, I've always setup small, flat peer to peer networks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:198886 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
