First connect all devices with Copper Cross-over cables for Server to Router.

And a Straight-Through Cable for Switch to PC, then enter a different server IP for Server to Router, and Router to PC.

For example for Server: 192.168.10.1

– Router fa0/0: 192.168.10.2

– Router fa0/1: 192.168.11.1

Then for the client PC, fill in the Router field fa0/1 192.168.11.2…. so on.
