Home Network [7:38818]
Hello everyone, I am in the process of setting up a home lab and I have a few questions. I will be running 2000 advanced server with various clients, I have a 1900, 2900 series switches and two 2501 routers. My first question is how can I provide internet access to all my clients ( will I have to use a proxy server for my clients) I have DSL ( internal PCI modem) which I guess I will run on my 2000 server. Also, how could I add in my routers? Thanks in advance -- James E.

RE: Home Network [7:38818]
Your home network will depend on whether you use the Cisco solution or the MS solution. May I suggest that you purchase an external DSL modem. Here's one possible scheme. Connect the DSL modem to one of your switches, SW1. Connect some of your MS boxes to SW1. Connect the ethernet port of a router, R1, to SW1. Connect R1 to R2 via a back-to-back serial cable. Connect the second switch, SW2, to the ethernet port of R2. Connect other MS boxes to SW2.

Go buy a cheap DSl router from one of those chain stores. You can get one for $100.00 or so. It will do PPoE and simple NAT. Then just put your routers behind them.

Re: Home Network [7:38818]
You have several choices... Choice 1 (low budget...) have 2 nics in the 200 server... One nic goes to your DSL modem, one to a switch Setup NAT for translation between them (already included in 2000 server...) If your 200 Serv er is the AD Server, and your clients are part of the 2000 domain, then your 2000 server must be the DNS server... Go into the DNS properties, make sure there is no folder in the root called root ( a yellow folder named . ((Yes called dot but with a . not the words))) if this exists, simply delete it... Then go into the properties of DNS and check enable forwarding, and set the DNS of your ISP. This will keep your DNS environment intact for Active directory, and still allow everyone to connect to websites... Option 2, buy a DSL router $99.99 with 4 switchports at best buy... And follow the picture on the box for setup... do the same thing for the DNS info I supplied, and make sure your clients are using your 2000 DNS and let the 2000 DNS server forward requests out of the domain... As far as your routers etc.. place them wherever... - Original Message - From: James Gruggett To: Sent: Tuesday, March 19, 2002 10:45 AM Subject: Home Network [7:38818] Hello everyone, I am in the process of setting up a home lab and I have a few questions.
