Re: Networking #101

*Bump*

Back to this Networking #101 thread!

I've now purchased a bog standard Zyxel router from eBay and I've now managed to convince my ISP to give me a static IP and and a block of 8 addresses - 5 of which I believe are usable.

So - this weekend I'm going to attempt to install this...

What's the best way to configure it and in what order should the devices be connected?

I think it goes:

Zyxel Router > WatchGuard Firewall > Switch

And from the switch I can connect the client PC's, printers etc as well and the current Linksys wireless router which will be in access point mode only.

Also - what's the best device for DHCP - Zyxel or Firewall?

Cheers

Lee
