Got a T1 coming into a suite in an office building with a Cisco router (think the model was 8 something). All the computers in the suite have static IP addresses from something like 16.133.90.50 to 16.133.90.61, and the router/gateway is 166.133.90.49, and the mask is 255.255.255.240.

I have a Linksys Wireless router that I currently have set up as an access point. How can I set up the access point/vista laptops so that when they come into the office they can use intranet resources (shares and printer)? I know I can assign a static IP for the Wireless Network adapter but then they would have wireless issues when the laptop is taken outside the office (there's probably some vista feature i'm missing here).

I would also like to set up a guest wireless network...giving guests the ability to use the internet wirelessly while keeping them off the intranet. I figure a router+DHCP would be involved here but I'm pretty lost besides that. How would I configure the router(s)?

$30.00/hr



Sounds like a good learning opportunity for you though

I'll do $25/hr

so, all of your intranet resources are on public IPs? awesome.

The cisco router probably has two lan ports that you can assign to different networks with different rulesets. LAN0 = 16.133.x and LAN1 = 192.x or 172.x or 10.x whatever you want the guest network to be.

As in the alternate configuration tab that lets you assign static ip's to the network card acting as a failover if the primary IP doesn't work or the adapter fails to obtain one through DHCP?

That's very limited and basic information and could be riddled with idiocy, but judging by everyone else's responses, you aren't going to be pulling much more than that.

It sounds like you need to setup a basic domain.

NOT REALLY

12/18/2008 4:12:58 PM

i'll do $20/hour

why do all the computers have public static IPs? NAT would be a great option here.

you have a couple options on the wireless network for your company laptops - PM me if you'd like me to help.

on the guest network, you'll just need to set up another network in another subnet and configure your routing tables to deny traffic to your intranet subnet but let traffic out to the WAN - you may also want to consider doing some sort of captive portal - again, PM me.

$20 IS NOT ACCEPTABLE

FOR SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS THIS IT IS
