Help with a Packet Tracer File

[PriestLLC]

I am working on a network that consists of 150 desktops, 11 laptops that can have remote access, a printer that can be used by anyone, email access, and file sharing. Before I get that big, I first want to start with the foundation and then build it up. Keep in mind that I intend to have all of this across 5 subnets. I have uploaded the pkt file.

Here are some issues that I have ran into. PDU's are sent successfully on some computers but not on others, like the laptops. Email is able to be sent and received across the 5 departments, but not with the CCO laptop. Also, most of the desktops are in static mode, and I set the server to DHCP mode, so that I can set everything to to DHCP, but I am getting a failure.

I still do not know how to set up file sharing, remote access, and share that printer across every department. I know that I am biting much more than I can chew, but this is something that I would like to tackle, despite my current skills.

I would gladly appreciate any help that I can get.

Can you ping the printer from the cco laptop at all? also have you got an accesslist or firewall in the path?  also what do you mean  by PDU?

[PriestLLC]

I pinged the printer from the COO laptop and I get a 100% loss. I have no accesslist or firewall set up. PDUs are essentially one shot pings that you can create among two devices.

Hello,

there is a type/misconfiguration, you don't have end to end connectivity because the default gateway in the serverPool on your DHCP server is configured as 192.168.1.1, which is an IP address that does not match the pool and does not exist on the router. Change it to 191.168.1.1 on the DHCP server...

I made the changes as per your suggestions, and that allows me to switch to DHCP on the devices in the Finance department, but on no where else.

[Georg Pauwen]

There are no DHCP pools for anything other than the Finance department. You need to add those and then configure the router interfaces with the 'ip-helper address 191.168.1.4' command, so your DHCP request get forwarded to the DHCP server.

[PriestLLC]

I added the other department default gateway to the server pool, but I am confused by what else you wrote, "configure the router interfaces with the 'ip-helper address 191.168.1.4' command, so your DHCP request get forwarded to the DHCP server."

Hello,

you need to add the lines in bold to Router 16 and 17:

Router16

interface FastEthernet0/0
ip address 1.168.0.1 255.0.0.0
ip helper-address 191.168.1.4
duplex auto
speed auto
!
interface FastEthernet1/0
ip address 128.168.0.1 255.255.0.0
ip helper-address 191.168.1.4
duplex auto
speed auto

Router17

interface FastEthernet0/0
ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0
ip helper-address 191.168.1.4
duplex auto
speed auto
!
interface FastEthernet1/0
ip address 126.168.1.1 255.0.0.0
ip helper-address 191.168.1.4
duplex auto
speed auto

I added the line to both routers,  and I still get a DHCP failed. I added a picture of my server pool and the lines I added to router 17.
