Here is a good Question for the network Wiz's

[Zintac]

Here is the deal, I have a Win2k server that i run my web site on, it also sometimes is used as a FTP. I only have 1 IP address from comcast.

Here is my current Set up


CM ---WIN2k Server----24Port10/100HUB-------|====4 computers

What i want to do is add a wireless Router to this mess, but want my win2k server to be where it is.

I thought maybe i could use ICS on Win2k but it will only let me share on 1 NIC
I have 3 NIC's in this system.

Server
| |-----Nic 1 (on MB) ------Comcast
| |-----Nic 2-to----24Port 350T-HD BayNetworks Managed HUB
| |-----Nic3---This one went to My router-- NetGear WGR614 V3


I tried to configure the router just hooked up to the 24 port hub, but i never can get a connection on it.

I'd Like to hook the router into NIC 3 so i can leave it on all the time, seeing this is in my bed room, that dam hub is way to loud to sleep by.

The 24 Port HUB has to stay as i'm going to be useing this setup(in the future) for Structered wireing and home automation, So i'd like to get this working how i want it to befor i start with the hard wireing.

I can honestly say my skill level is Intermeadit.

Right now i'm using the wireless right on comcast, but i need to get this server back up as i run a web site for a WOW Guild and i have my owen forums and crap on there.


Any sugestions on how i should do it.
Sorry about the spelling but the spell checker is gay right now

Buy a wifi AP instead of a router, put it on the hub, give it a static ip in the networks range, and call it a day.

Your wireless router has some wired ports correct? Hook your hub to your router and your router to your server.

why not put the wireless router on the 24 port hub? you could connect to the switch port and have it on the same network as the 4 workstations or use the wan port to have it sit on its own network segment.

or hang that wireless router off of a NIC #3 with a cable to a switch port on the wireless router (you just created a segment for it to sit on) and give it a different network say...

all you need to do is add routes on your server so it will know how to forward the different networks
10.10.1.0/24 for the LAN
and
10.10.2.0/24 for your access point

why do you say it would not connect? what was the issue?
