First we need to provide internet service to all the users on the LAN consistently (regardless of the fact that one or the other DSL line might go down once in a while) Second we need to guarantee that the broadcasting studio has always enough bandwidth to broadcast the classes.

The Goals: We basically need to accomplish 3 things. Basically we left the broadcasting studio alone on router 2 to guarantee that nobody on the LAN would steal their bandwidth in the middle of a class. When we started we had manually assigned IPs on each computer some on router 1 and some our router 2. Our internet connection is based on two adsl lines one with 18MB download speed and 800kbps upload speed and the other line with 6MB download speed with 400kbps upload speed. Off of those computers most do administrative tasks via a web interface, some do some FTP traffic and the most critical application on our office is that several times a week we broadcast a web conference to students. We have a LAN with about 60/70 computers. I work at a small/medium company where we have no network administrator so the IT department (two programmers) has been put in charge of anything and everything computer related. My Scenario: I m by no means a network guru, I am a programmer by training and by trade.
