Re: A network mess



GBSNathan <chuckie72406@xxxxxxxxx> hath wroth:

I have the wonderful challenge of taking a Road Runner line and
attempting to wire it up to a wireless router and then getting a
network of 3 computers to connect. All of the computers are connected
to a central server.
I have never worked with any kind of network.
Is there any thing I should know or is there a way to do this?

Well, you're general deficiency in supplying any kind of maker or
model numbers is a problem. You really should know what you are
working with.

As a general rule, get things working using a wired (CAT5 Ethernet)
connection before attempting to setup or use wireless. It's like
learning to ride a bicycle and juggle at the same time. Each can be
best first mastered independently, before attempting them at the same
time.

That's quite a bit of reading, but worth doing before you hire someone
to just get it done and over with.
