Hi, I'm sure someone will be able to help me here.

Cable Modem WAN (2 Ip's)
I (uplink to hub)
Hub (to link both IP's)
I (IP#1) I (IP#2)
NOC Room Hub Linksys Router (using DHCP and NAT)
I I I I
XP workstations I
(Vox over IP testing) I
10/100 36 port Switch
I I I I I I
Windows 2000 server and WinXP clients


Now my question is, with this setup will clients using IP#1 be able to access the win 2000 server box that is using the IP#2 for the WAN?
It has been established that the XP boxes using the IP#1 cannot go via a router hence the 2 WAN IP's and the setup suggested.
Please if I was not specific enough please let me know. All your comments are greatly appreciated
 
Assuming IP#1 and IP#2 really mean Subnet#1 and Subnet#2, you still need something to route packets between the two subnets.

Why can't the XP boxes utilize a router?
