DSL Connection Distribution

[dead_lock]

Hi to everyone!
Im very much new to speedguide. Though I've read a lot of the thread forums here.
I have a very complicated (or should I say a noobie) problem. This is regarding DSL router and connection. Please see my diagram.

ISP ---> DSL MODEM ---> DSL ROUTER ---> EDIMAX LAN SWITCH --> PC1
(DSL) D-LINK (ES-3124RL) |-----> PC2
|-----> PC3

Will these kind of diagram work? Are the PC's connected to the switch can access internet? If yes how? Thanks Guys... :rotfl:

ISP==>DSL Modem==>Router==>Switch...and from the switch, a half dozen PC's...sure, would work fine.

However I'm not following why you have ISP==>DSL Modem==>Router==>Switch==>PC1==>Then switch again==>Then another 2 PCs.

Sorry for the misleading drawing of mine. ;)
Can you help me to configure/distribute my DSL connections? I've already connected the DSL modem to the D-Link DSL router (via WAN port). Then I've connected the cat5 cable(straight) from the router's LAN port to the edimax switch. Then I'm gone. I don't know what to do next.

Can you help me with some of the missing procedures? :confused:
Can I connect some PC which is a member of a domain on the router?

thanks man. :nod:

OK DSL modem to WAN port of the router. Then you have a patch cable uplinking your routers LAN port (one of them) to a bigger switch that you have. That's fine. As long as you have the "uplink" ports correct from the LAN side of the router to your Edimax switch, so you have a link light. You don't want uplink to uplink, just uplink to standard port with a straight cable.

Next is a matter of following the setup guide included with your router. Log onto the routers web admin page (usually a 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 address...following the default user/pass given in the instructions)...configure the router per your ISP (If it's DSL, often PPPoE...enter a username and a password for your ISPs logon) And then you're good to go. By default, routers run a DHCP service. Following the instructions with your router, your workstations should have TCP set to obtain automatically, and should pickup a 192. address.

However I see you mention "member of a domain"....now I have a whole bunch of unknowns and many things to consider, plan, and possibly reconfigure.
Do you have an existing network, including a server (or serverS)? Business network or just a home LAN you fiddle with?
Is your server running DHCP?
Is your server running a Windows 2000 or higher domain (including DNS)?
TCP printers on this network? And other oddball networked devices on fixed IP addresses?

It's not a problem introducing DSL to your existing network...it's just, well....we have some homework (you do) to show me what you have so that we can bring this in smoothly and properly.

Thanks. I'll keep in touch. :thumb:
