Objective: To set up a Lotus Domino Mail Server. Available: 5 Fixed IP Addresses x.y.z.n1 x.y.z.n2 x.y.z.n3 x.y.z.n4 x.y.z.n5 and a Gateway x.y.z.n6 and subnet mask b.c.d.e Available hardware : 1) 1 Compaq ML370 Server 2) 1 x ADSL Modem (on all the time) 3) 1 x Router 4) 2 x switches 5) 10 x pcs on a LAN 6) 1 x Hardware Firewall. Question: 1) How should go about 'wiring' up the configuration as above. I have to set up the mail server and later configure it for VPN as well (to retrieve mail and files from the server) 2) How do I use the fixed IPs that I have been allocated? 3) How should I connect the LAN of 10 pcs to the server? meaning - if the lan uses ips' on the range of say 10.a.b.cn whereas the server is on a fixed ip of say x.y.z.n1 ( or have done it incorrectly?) 4) Where do I 'connect' the firewall to? Suggestions and comments are most welcome Thanks very much Shaw
