could i jump in and ask a couple of questions that might help me
understand your diagram? i can't help you i'm afraid but i think i might
learn something from any future answers to your query, does dhcp mean
that the box is being given it's ip address by a dhcp server? (or is
being a server - only one needed though right?) in which case which is
the dhcp server, the firewall? (is this what is called a router?), is
your network printer configured via the network or by physical switches
etc.(i.e. how do you assign it an ip?)
i hope you don't mind my butting in but i am interested in networking
