Hello Guys,

I am new to Cisco Routers and the small comany (very small comany) that I work for just decided to buy new networking equipment.

They have purchased the following:
1 Cisco router 1841
1 Cisco Catalyst 2950 Switch

we have 6 Pc's that we need up and running by Teu (in 2 days basicly) I've searched the internet of basic setup for those two items. All we need for right now that the Computers can go out to the internet and recive emails. I would think that this would be a basic setup. From the ISP I got the static IP, MASK, GATEWAY, and DNS Info.

Is there anything out there that will guide me through the steps of setting up the Router and switch. I know very litle about cisco equipment such as setting up passwords hostnames and getting to the certian int's on the router/switch.

Please if anyone has something out there it would be highly appriciated

Thank you in advance
Tom
 
Most of the time, I have seen people simply use a wireless router as an access point by plugging one of the LAN ports to your LAN switch, and giving the router an internal (LAN) ip address only, in the same subnet as the Cisco router LAN subnet.

Not hard at all, Just plug it into your switch and make sure you turn of dhcp services and lock it down with wpa2 psk.
