Network Setup Help

[Burner]

Hi.
This is my first post here and Im a fairly new apple user, I've had my new laptop for about 2 months.
Well i bought a Airport Extreme (N) and a Express yesterday and Im having trouble setting up my network.
I bought the AEBS for my office and the Express for home.
My office networks is simple, it has a Win NT server with a few PC's on a TCP/IP network with fixed IP addresses, this network only handles the accounting and admin systems, no internet is allowed or available for the PC's on the network. But I am the only one who has access to internet via a 2Wire wireless modem in my office.
So I normally would use my internet wirelessly and plug the ethernet to access the office network.
NOTE: I use the network in parallels because all the systems only run on win.

So, right now Im trying to setup my network and my internet using my AEBS.
But since Im a new user and not a very good with network setups, though about posting here so somebody can give me a hand.

Please keep in ming that Parallels has worked fine for me and It is very important I maintain Internet and LAN in parallels, my LAN is not useful under MacOSX.

Thanx.

What issues are you running into? I'd attempt to get the Mac side of things working first, so you know that the router isn't an issue. In theory, wireless setup should be the same as a PC, if you have installed the drivers.

I'd also post here:

The thing is that I want to run 2 networks simultaneously.
One for the Office LAN and another for Internet.
I was tinkering in OSX to se if I can configure Airport to run 2 networks.
I was thinking of connectin my LAN ethernet cable to my APBS to transmit my LAN network and the use my wirelles modem (2wire) to transmit the Internet.
But right now ive been unable to configure 2 networks using airport.

I don't think that what you want is possible on a permanent base. You can ofcourse switch the wireless connection to switch the functionality, but you can not access 2 wifi routers at the same time (requires 2 wireless network cards in your system) as they should be working at different frequencies to prevent interference.


Good luck, Kees
