Got internet, but how do I access my windows server 2003?
Recently my office switched to a new ISP and phone service (comcast). We have (or should have) a static IP.
Mixed wired and wireless access. The internet works but I can't access my server anymore.
Just 5 PCs, I think on a workgroup (not a domain), and 1 server.
Comcast guy is gone. I'm not qualified to fix this but might be able to with your help.
I think my main issue is a lack of understanding about the difference between the IP settings in the modem, vs. the router.
If I am connected wirelessly, and I go to the browser and put in 10.1.10.1, I get the WRT54G router settings page.
If I am connected with wires, and I put in 10.1.10.1, I get the comcast modem settings page.
• The comcast guy wrote down the static IP info, DNS, etc... which of the two settings pages mention above gets this info?
• Right now, the network goes like this:
Internet --> Comcast modem --> big switch in server closet --> server + various PCs + WRT54G wireless router.
Should it be set up differently, maybe Internet --> Modem --> Wireless Router --> Switch?
• What would I plug into the server's TCP/IP properties box? It has just one adapter. I've tried various settings in this box but nobody sees the server. However the server gets online fine. I didn't touch any other server settings.
