Hi, Thanks for your reply.
If I used routed connections would users still be able to connect to other workstations/servers on the other LAN? The 2.1.2 EFW isn't a DHCP server, it's just got 192.168.100.200 as it's static address. Most of the servers set up in the 192.168.100.x range and set statically. I've then got permanent staff workstations set statically in 192.168.101.x range, and permanent student use workstations set statically in the 192.168.102.x range. Then DHCP running on 192.168.103.x only. Setting most statically lets me know when students access inappropriate stuff on the 'net I can track down which computer they were on via IP address and therefore find which class they were in and talk with the teacher about supervision of that student.
