Home network

[Sequence]

Ok so i really have not done to much networking its been just plug it in and do basic setup that's it.

 

now i have 2 soon to be 3 servers that i will use for a personal team speak server and the odd game server for a few friends currently the network goes like this 

 

 

 

Everything connects up and works internet wise but i cant see them from the main pc and vise versa if i want to lets say see a network map it will just go main pc > router > internet if a laptop is on then i can see that on the network but as for servers or xbox i cant see them on the network have i set something up wrong or is there more to do ?

 

 

 

thanks

That is because servers do not automatic show it in the Windows network map. Try to go to \\<server ip> in Windows Explorer to access any shared files, or use Remote Desktop to manage them from your main PC (if they are running Windows Server).

is there a specific way to set it so they do show up ?

Normally, when you set your Servers in the same work group as your main PC, it should work, but windows can be a bit of a bitch about that when not everything is the same version. As for the Xbox, I can't help you with that.

Question: What OS is running on the servers? 

I have set up a FreeNAS sharing server, and have managed various Windows 2008 servers here at work, so I may be able to help you find a way to have what you want.

try "ps3 media server" for videos for the xbox. yes it says ps3 but its just a name also trans codes then if wrong format 

 

what are the servers running windows linux?

 

they should see each other if you have network discovery on if you using windows server
