okay,

I had posted a while back about some routing problems I was having, but I couldn't explain the problem I was having all that well. I had decided to make a chart of the network so that people could see what I was talking about, and it took a while for me to get around to it, but here it is.

Again, here is the problem I'm having:
When plugged into the SMC router (in the breakroom), I can't access the Linux & FreeBSD servers, but I can from everywhere else. I had been told that I needed to change the routing table on the SMC router, but it doesn't have one, and that just didn't seem right to me, so here is my network in a viewable format ;)

Thanks again,
Karl Haines

Not sure about that, I'd say just drop the smc router, and replace those hubs with switches. Also read the following:

D-Link WAPs are vulnerable to Newsham's fun little brute force method. I recomend picking up a NetGear MA401 if you feel comfortable with soddering a new antenna connector on.

As was pointed out in the previous thread, no one can help you with a routing problem until you supply IP's, subnets, and gateways. If you don't want to do this properly replace the SMC router with a hub/switch, say the magic words "Layer 2 is my friend", and watch things work.

out of interest did you use a specific program to make your network diagram or just throw it together with a graphics proggy? i'd be interested in something like that.

Thanks
