I have taken over the support and admin of a small office network. Currently all devices connect to a 3Com switch. The devices in question are a number of laptops, Windows 2000 server, one Xerox copier, HP printer and HP Windows XP PC. Currently internet access is via the Windows 2000 server acting as a NAT gateway but gives slow response. After checking out the network whilst on-site I have found another RJ45 floorbox in the office that gives internet access when connecting a laptop to it. I am thinking of getting a router to connect to this floorbox and also to a port on the 3Com switch. Would this give me internet access to the office network instead of using the Windows 2000 server? Thanks.

Jump to Postset the DHCP to provide the new router as gateway for the workstations.
that will make them address the router
Jump to Postyeah, or just disable the RRAS service.
Jump to Postthe two NICs can be teamed up for better performance and reliability, since the server is only on the LAN now
