Our company has recently looked into getting Internet connection for our LAN. We currently have 5 Win 95/98 workstations attached to a Novell Netware 3.12 server. Our DSL line will be installed soon. I'm just wondering on how am I going to connect the DSL to our network. I did some research and it looks like by purchasing a Linksys DSL/Cable router to replace our existing 10mb/s hub is the best way. Are there any setup problems that I should be aware of if I install the router? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
 
As long as you aren't going to try and run TCP/IP on the Netware box, everything should go smoothly. You will need TCP/IP on the workstations, but you won't need to set static IP's, as the Linksys will serve DHCP for you. If yo have any particular questions when it comes time to set up your Linksys, feel free to contact me via e-mail as I use the Linksys at my house.
