Hi. Thank you so much for reading!
A DSL modem/router went bad at my work, so I was installing a replacement. I got it plugged in and the internal network seemed to be working fine. However, I couldn't access the internet from the server that was plugged directly into the router. I checked the servers IP configuration and it has a static IP address of 192.168.1.10 and a default gateway of 192.168.1.1.
However the router defaults to the 192.168.0.1 address. So the reason I assume it can't connect to the internet is they are on different logical networks. I plugged my laptop into the router and internet worked. Then I tried changing the router LAN address from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1. Still the server couldn't connect to the internet. Next I tried changing the server to dynamic addressing and it could then connect to the internet, but then the time clocks (for employee punch in/out) wouldn't operate with the server.
So my question is this:
How do I configure the router to work on the 192.168.1.x network? Do I have to change DHCP too?
I could land a job as the admin here if I can figure this out.
Any advise is much appreciated.
