If you have a link that'd be great or else I need a full solution.

Attached is the pics of the network I am trying to install. I'd like
to have a central file server (WINxp) that feeds a wireless router
netgear which the rest of the house connects to.

I ran windows network wizard for the main comp and for the clients.

The server has a broadcom card that goes to the internet and a linksys
card that goes to the router.

I guess the main problem I am having is configuring the router to allow
the clients to pass through and see the internet. Do i have to set up
a static IP in the router? if so what is the addresses I use for the
gateway and dns server? also should I set the server-router nic to a
static ip? What address? shoudl i have the clients auto address their
IPs?

so of the problems I have run into are:
I tried letting it all autoconfig but the clients were not able to see
the internet. they could see the files on the server. so I tried
static IP in the router.

when I set the static IP for the router i use - IP 192.168.1.1 and -
gateway 192.168.1.254 (the server's IP). when I do this I am unable to
login back into the router using the 192.168.1.1 in the address bar.

Any help is appreciated
