We run two networks, one for admin and one for public use. An extra router has been added to prevent the public accessing the admin network.
An ADSL router connects to a small business server with a single network card that runs DHCP in 192.168.16.# Range.
A switch connected to the router has the admin computers and printers connected to it. This switch also connects to a wireless router that takes it IP address from the Server (192.168.16.200) it then has its own LAN and runs DHCP in the 192.168.1.# range. The wireless router has a file and print server plugged into it with an inkjet printer connected to it.
The public use wireless laptops that print to the inkjet printer.
The admin people would like to be able to print to the inkjet printer on the public LAN. Is this possible?
I have produced a quick drawing of the network and uploaded here: http://www.hmca.org.uk/network/network.pdf
One of my users with WinXP and Office 2000 has an unusual issue. She has deleted several folders including Word and Excel documents which have reappeared in their parent folder on our networked drive. This has happened two days running. Is their a ghost in her machine or is there a more mundane answer?
We have a small network - wired not wireless, though we'd like to use wireless too - linking the net, half a dozen PCs, our server and a couple of printers. The existing router, which is connected to a standard domestic broadband/telephone line, is dying, or at least it's not very well. We'd like to replace it.
Can you give any guidance as to the easiest type/brand to set up and what specifications we should look for. We seem to be able to get basic kit for about £30, but could spend a lot more, is this justified? Many thanks
