Re: I cannot connect to my work server from my wireless connection

Maybe I've misunderstood. Are the PCs AND the server connected to the LAN side of the router (wired or wireless), with the WAN side connected to the internet? Is the router acting as DHCP server for the PCs AND the server? In our setup, we have PCs connected wirelessly to a router, with the router WAN port connected to the office wired network (including the server), and the wired network connected to the Internet via a separate router.

Not the same thing. DHCP allocates addresses, DNS converts names to addresses.
