[AccessD] Setting Up a Domain. Part 3. Your Gateway

This is really good, Drew.  Thanks for taking the time.  This is exactly
what I do in my home office network.  Since I work from home, I had to set
up a network here to be able to test functionality as close to my clients'
environment as possible.  Plus I liked the greater network flexibility that
naturally results, primarily with user accounts for my children, which
hasn't been fully implemented yet, and the more efficient way the different
machines communicate as I really wanted to have a central storage location
for things like digital pictures and movies, etc.  I have two servers, two
workstations, two four port wireless routers (one of which has the wireless
turned off), and a networked printer on my network, and then my laptop that
connects through the wireless.  Eventually I plan to have a HTPC server on
the network and get rid of my 400 disc DVD changer, and a couple more HTPC
clients thus allowing me to access multiple movies on different TVs or
computers at the same time.

Subject: [AccessD] Setting Up a Domain. Part 3. Your Gateway

In the demo I've been setting up for all the screen shots, it's not
going to see the internet, I could set that up, but for right now, it's
all 'local only' in Virtual PC, which is like it's own enclosed network.
But I'm sure all of you would want your domain and your client computers
to see the internet.  

 

In what we have setup so far, the IP Address for your router needs to be
192.168.0.1.  There are two ways to do this.  Either manually put that
address into your current 'router' (whatever you bought, or your ISP
provided) OR get the MAC address of your routers, and create a
reservation in DHCP for it.  

 

Since there are dozens of common home routers, trying to give step by
steps on this would take forever.  If you are not sure how to do this,
google the name and model of your router, and find the manual, I have
never seen one that didn't have instructions on how to turn OFF DHCP,
and setup it's local IP address.  (In fact, most routers will start with
an IP address of 192.168.0.1, but not all).

 

So screen shots, and one more step before we officially connect a
client.
