Hello Lurkers,
Where I'm working is upgrading our computer system to include a server, and I need to assign static IP addresses to each computer involved before the guy coming to install the server gets here.
Now, I wont lie, I fairly stupid about networking, so I did what I do whenever I have a question like this, and googled it. I found the site
http://corz.org/comms/hardware/router/st...ddress.php
that seems to lay out how I do it.
Is this all I have to do? I'm currently using a linksys wrt54g router, and a linksys switch to handle the computers + wireless connections that we currently have running. That would be 4 computers, and 1 wireless (me). When we are done adding on, it will be 6-8 computers, the server, and a wireless connection.
After I assign the static IP addresses and disable DHCP on the router, will the normal setup that I have running right now work?
Will I need to assign my laptop a static IP address so that I can continue to access the net?
Any help would be appreciated
