You have 4 servers (not configured), 2 raid boxes, 1 Cisco 1700 router, 4 HP switches and Windows 2000 Advanced Server software. What would you do? You are the Network designer. There are 2 separate networks 1 is for office use the other is for lab use. The two can talk to each other but only when needed. So your address for the office will be 192.168.1.0 and the lab? You provide. This is only a INTRANET no connection to the Internet. We need email, database and Web server for the INTRANET.

Clients will be W98, WinNT40 and W2K Pro.

If your answer works you will receive the points.
A detail answer is required.
You my send drawings to me via email if need be.
Good Luck.

I would divide the components equally between the two networks and have the router join them together in the middle. Of course this would depend on the number of users in each group and the type of communication they desire.

I would ask my boss for enough money to hire someone to tell me what to do.

Obviously, there is so much going on here that a it is vitually impossible to give any kind of cohesive, comprehensive and intelligent answer.

Here's a novel idea. Start by defining the problem. Next, design a solution. Finally, select and purchase equipment to implement the solution.

Your approach of buying some equipment and then relying on the kindness of strangers to help you figure out how to use it is doomed to failure no matter what advice you receive.

Here are your choices: 1, Hire a pro; 2, go to school; 3, find another line of work.
