Default Help or info required ...

No sympathy please but here's my situation.

I have 8 pcs ethernet'd together using an 8 port Cat5 switch. The pcs run
Netbuie for file and print sharing as well as tcp/ip for dialup proxy server
running on one pc and also for some multi-user games in-house.

I am waiting on a satallite installer to come install a dish to change from
dialup to sat.

To facilitate hooking up the sat's modem I've bought a router with Wan and 4
ethernet ports. I took one of the pcs off the switch, connected the switch
to the router and plugged in that same pcs to the router.

As far as the ethernet is concerned all pcs still see each other and
everything works as before.

Now, the part I need to know.

Sat dish installer won't be by for two weeks. I'm off to rad/chemo treatment
starting next week. I'd like the sat dish installer to basically have as
easy a time of it as possible. I assume he'll do no more than connect a
laptop to the sat modem to get it working and likely have nothing to do with
reconnecting it to the router and getting all the pcs changed to use that
connection.

I'd like to know before hand what I'll have to do to have the pcs that
currently use the proxy server to instead use the router.

tia, Paul
