I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to be putting this post in, but I'm having a problem with two of my home routers.
I have a Dlink-DI704p home cable\DSL router and a Linksys BEFSR41 cable\DSL router. I have internet access via cable modem.
I have two networks in my house. I want each network to have different IPs. ex. network 1: 90.0.0.X network 2: 192.168.1.X, but I want each network to have internet access and I will need to have access to shared printers on the other network.
I can get network 1 on the internet no problem , but I can't get network 2 on at the same time.
I have plugged a patch cord from the cable modem into the WAN port on Linksys router on net 1. It gets an IP dynamically. The rest of the pc's on net 1 get an IP from the Linksys router dynamically as well.
When I tried to get net 2 to connect to the internet as well, I plugged a patch cord into the Dlink routers WAN port which is set to obtain an IP automatically (dynamic), and the other end into one of the Linksys router LAN ports.
When I look at the dlink's config, I see that the WAN has obtained an IP from Linksys router sucsessfully. It looks right, but when I try to ping the two routers the request times out.
If any one has any ideas or know exactly how to correctly set these routers up it would be SO appreciated.
Thanks guys.
