I have a Windows 2000 server connected to a hub. I also have about 20 Windows XP machines (clients) connected to this hub as well. I also have a Netgear firewall, which is connected to both a cable modem and the hub.
The Win 2000 server has IP 10.100.100.1, and the Netgear firewall has IP 10.100.100.141.
Right now, what I'm doing is going to each client and configuring the Default Gateway entry manually. What I'd LIKE to do is have the client's IP settings set to "Obtain IP Addresses Automatically" and have the Netgear's IP address come up automatically.
I'm assuming this can be done on the Windows 2000 server, as it's the DHCP server on the network, but I have no idea how to do it.
Could someone give me a step-by-step on how to do it?
Also, is this the best way to get my network to have internet access? Right now, each client loses internet access about every 10 mins, which a "repair" will fix, but it happens so regularly that it's getting to be disruptive. Tnx for hlp!
