I have a small business with about 14 computers on a lan. I purchased an 802.11g router/access point from Dlink to enable clients to connect to our internet connection while visiting the office, as well as allow our own laptop users to connect to our server wirelessly to surf the net, send email, access files on the server, etc. I can get the internet to work with no problem when i connect the lan cable into the WAN port on the router, but no server access. If i attach the lan cable to the number 1 port, i can get internet and sometimes server access, but its spotty, working at first, then teling me there is no connection to the server. I am pretty new to all of this but love understanding how it works. Could this have something to do wit the routers ip address? I have cisco lan equiptment and the router is dlink. should i change the ips from the default settings? what is the best channel to set the wireless to?
Thanks for all the help in advance, you guys are awsome
