network

No offense but you're basically asking us to set up your network for you.

Once it's up and running, who is going to support it if/when it goes down.

I think it's time for your company to take the burden off of you and hire a local technician to come out and set everything up for you.

You should be able to plug your local machines into the numbered ports and just have them get their IPs through DHCP. Plug your internet connection into the internet port, and if you need to know your settings for the internet connection its best to contact your ISP.

If you can plug a PC into your internet connection and get to the web without any other setup, you should just be able to plug the router in and have it work.

that's right sir,
but while installilng DC and DNS on win 2k3 server,
I think windows require static IPs of all the machines on the LAN.How can we set static IPs while enablng the dhcp on the nodes.

najmi,

You didn't hurt anyone and no one here takes offense to the questions you've asked or the help you need setting up this network.

If you enable DHCP on the router, win2k3 will detect that and actually stop the DHCP service.....it doesn't fight for power. My suggestion is to use DHCP on the server and disable it on the router. You can set static IPs via DHCP in win2k3 by setting a Reservation. This practice is frequently used for setting IPs on servers, printers, and any other device that needs a static IP. Windows does not require each machine to have a static IP.

that's great but during setting my router,when i set it on pppoE and save my isp's user name and password,I get an error message:"failed to get an ip from pppoe server.Troubleshooting this i reset my roter and dsl modem,tried again the same but the same message again.how do I resolve this problem.

The WAN portion of the router most likely needs to stay at DHCP.

However, the LAN portion needs to have DHCP set to "Disabled".

Thats ok! but how to set the LAN and WAN portion of the Router means where these options are found in a WRT54G Router's setup Page.

The question you've asked can be found in the manual that comes with the router.
