Hi all, Lots and lots of knowledge here, so I'm hoping someone can help with a question. I currently have a Netgear DG834G ADSL wireless hub (or maybe its a switch, I'm not sure!). When we move house, I'm planning on installing cat5 and a patch panel. Due to layout, I wont be able to have the netgear close to the patch panel - so I'll need another switch next to the patch panel. How, therefore, do I wire the netgear and a new switch (ie www.ebuyer.co.uk Quickfind code: 63776) into the network so that I can use the netgear to access the internet from the PCs/SBs ??
I'm thinking: PC ---- switch(via patch panel) then switch ----- netgear. Do I then just set the gateway/dns etc of the PCs to the LAN side address of the netgear like I do now, or does the inclusion of the switch complicate things ?? Also, can I use any port on the switch to connect up to the netgear on any of its ports ?? Any help much appreciated..... -- gingerneil _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
