I've been lurking around this forum for awhile and I thought i'd fire you guys a question, I'm tasked with managing a very simple small dental office network. The way they have it setup now is they have 2 separate networks, 1 network is the main network that runs the dental software and doesn't need internet access, the other network is for the personal computers in the office that need internet access. The thinking there is/was that the manager wanted to keep an internet network separate from the main network to keep the possibility of virus infection low. Now that I'm in control here, is this the best way to do this? Isn't there just a way to limit the access of certain computers from using the internet and just keeping everything on 1 network? I'm using a dd-wrt motorola router on the 2nd network
Another road block is that the main network uses static IPs (non-DHCP) I'm guessing because some of the network dental equipment (x-rays mainly) use static IPs (not sure if they are settable). Should I be using a domain controller instead?
Any advice is greatly appreciated... thanks!
