If your setup matches other Comcast commercial installations I’ve seen, then the “router” is actually a Comcast-branded SMC Firewall/Router.

Since you have a firewall, I still don’t understand why you need two NICs – on different networks for this server.

When you say “I was configuring my workstation with a static IP from the router” this could mean a number of things.

I’m sorry to be unhelpful, but frankly, I’d suggest that you find a local consultant who knows their networking. You seem to be confused enough about the pieces that you have in place that you’d do better with someone who can put it together and maybe even document it for you. Installing the Exchange server may require a different consultant/contractor depending on their particular knowledge base, unless you happen to know that area well enough.

Good luck,

Bob

I was assigning my Workstation a static IP from the router and I had internet access. I removed the router and configured the server with comcast’s cable modem ip number and everything works. I know need to know how I can configure my router to work inbetween the server and the modem. I am trying to setup a static ip for the first time because I want to use VPN and exchange. Any pointers?
