Hi all
I was so fed up of using the out of a box routers from PC World or the provided router from the host that I decided to splash out and buy a decent router.
The Cisco 887 came highly recommended and seems to be a great purchase so far. Our down time and internet hangs vanished overnight.
Having had this installed for several weeks now I thought it was time to look at my problems with it,
I have 2 broadcom network cards, 1 for the LAN and 1 for the WAN, All machines connected to the LAN get full internet access but my server will not.
The router plugs directly into the Server (2008) with an IP address of 10.10.10.1 - this is listed under the LAN settings in Cisco CP Express.
I have a fixed IP address which appears to be set up correctly and all my terminals / client pc's that are plugged through the switch. These all show IP's that look like 192.168.1.x
I am not an IT wizz kid but I know my way around a computer pretty well. I am guessing I need to move the router IP to within range. At present the Server sorts out the DHCP and we also have a VOIP phone system.
Any ideas???

I am slightly confused and would appreciate some clarification. In earlier posts you showed the router as having address 10.1.10.1 on its Ethernet LAN interface. Are you telling us that now the router address 192.168.1.123?
And am I correct in understanding that the clients still have working access to Internet etc?
You mention that you moved the router but have not told us whether there were any changes in the server. In the earlier post the server had two connections, one labaled LAN and one labeled Internet. Would I be correct in assuming that the LAN interface is still connected and the Internet interface is now not connected to anything?
If that is the case then I believe that I have a theory about the problem. In the previous post the server had its default gateway as 10.10.10.1. And I am guessing that its default gateway is still 10.10.10.1. But that was on the Internet interface and it now can not get to its default gateway. The easy solution would be to change the default gateway for the server to be the new router interface address.
