hi there, seem to find eht best answers here at TR so decided to sign up. i’m looking for some basic network/server setup advice.
my current setup goes something like this:
modem -> router -> switch
from my switch i have:
1. W2K3-1(DNS, AD, file server) 2 static ip’s [xxx.xxx.x.101 & xxx.xxx.x.102]
2. W2K3-2(IIS), [xxx.xxx.x.112 & xxx.xxx.x.113]
also have a a few pc’s, a mac and 2 linux boxes.
my question is about my dns setup, does my W2K3-1 box need to come before my other machines, between the router and switch, one line in from router, and one line out to switch, and if that is the case, what do you guys recommend i do for the ip address’s (2 NIC’s)on that machine, should my W2K3 machines only have one static IP each?
i’ve been reading a lot of MS tech docs to try and help me out, but they are a little bit techy for me, just need a basic overview/direction into what i should be doing.
thanks for any ideas
