I have become the IT guy where I work and have hodge-podged a LAN together and have it functioning but know that somethings are not correct as I cannot see all pieces on network. My setup is as follows:
dsl modem to Belkin wireless router that is upfeeding a sonic firewall switch from one port and a dell powerswitch from another port so I can get all PC's in our network to see and talk to wireless print server for main printer use. The sonic switch has a port feeding the dell switch so all PC's can see the files that are shared. The concern I have is that the wireless is feeding the sonic switch and dell switch while a cable is also feeding the dell switch from the sonic switch. My problem if I run dsl to wireless to sonic switch to dell switch the PC's in dell switch cannot see the wireless print server or the PC's in the sonic switch. How do I overcome this and what would be the best way to setup the LAN for optimum functionality and speed. Currently all PC's can access the internet.
