The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Internet connection not working on client computers

Asked by Lord_Lovatt in Miscellaneous Networking

Tags: router, connection, dhcp, internet, working

I am having a problem with a network I've set up. The network consists of a domain controller running Server 2003 with DNS and DHCP enabled, a wireless router, an ADSL router and a handful of client PC's wirelessly connected through the wireless router. The domain controller and ADSL router are cabled to the wireless router. DHCP is disabled on the wireless router, but enabled on the ADSL router. The network uses a basic 192.168.0.0 IP address range, with the domain controller and wireless router having static addresses. The ADSL router has a different subnet and a static IP address of 192.168.1.254.

My problem is that firstly, the ADSL router is a shared router residing in a comms room of which I have absolutely no control. I cannot disable the DHCP running on it. Secondly, despite the ADSL router being the default gateway, and being listed in the DC's forward lookup zone, the client PCs are not receiving an Internet connection. However, the DC is, so I know it's working.

I suspected that this was possibly due to the DHCP clashing so I disabled it on the DC and set up all the clients manually with a static IP address and pointing them to the ADSL router. This works ok and gets them an Internet connection, but this slow unless I manually assign them the ISP DNS IP address too.  However, it is not ideal because if, say, a laptop was required to be wirelessly connected to the network, it would pick up a DHCP address from the ADSL router and get Internet connection no problem, but it would not be visible to the regular network.

I'm I right in thinking that this can be solved by changing the network's IP address range so that it is in the 192.168.1.0 range? I've been trying to sort it all day and now my brain is frazzled, so any suggestions appreciated, thanks.
