Hopefuly someone has an idea on how to do this. I am needing to set up 2 vpn's in my house. One of them is already set up and has internet connection, the other one I need to set it up, in a way where the second vpn doesn't have internet connection, but can still communicate with the other computers on the other network. I am not wanting to configure static ip addresses on the other network, and just disable the internet communication to thoose ip's. I am also going to need a dhcp running, since only one computer on my network currently has that static ip, and will only have a static, the others I need as dynamic. Right now only going to have is 2 routers, and a dsl router for internet. The 2 routers for the network(s) is 1, a off brand 4 port 10/100 router, and the other is a dlink 614+ (wireless router). The off-brand router is my current main router, that also has the dsl connection; the other router I don't want dsl connection to it, but still allow communication between all the computers. Now, could I possibly just give the dlink router a static ip address, and disable the internet connection to that ip address; and have that limit the internet connectivity on the wireless part? Essiently I have between 4-7 computers on, about 3-4 of them has to have internet, the other must not have internet at all, without defining a static ip address to each of them.

Check the manual out for the filters section. That is where you designate who can and cannot see the internet.
But you are biting off more than you can chew me thinks laddie.

I know about the filters, but most times they are for filtering out certain ports. I am not wanting to specificly wanting to disable a port, because i have other stuff that also uses the same ports that I want active on local network. I am pretty familiar on both sides of hardware and software end, and end up making my own software packages to fit my own needs. The other reason why I am not wanting to filter out the common internet ports, is because I want anyone on my local network be able to access my personal web/ftp server.
You would be surpirsed on how much I am working on now. This is only a small fraction of what I am fully doing in thew whole scheme of things.

Ok, you have 2 routers, router 1, the one hooked up to DSL, put the computers that need internet on router 1, plug router2(wireless?) into a port on router1 , allow it to be assigned an address by router 1, then configure router one to not allow access to the internet by IP filtering of the address that was assigned router 2.
Done.
You now have 2 unique subnets, one with access to the internet, one without, but they all have access to each other on the LAN.
Jusdt what model is the "off brand" router you mention, let me scan the manual and see if I can't help you really resolve this issue.

ok, Let me see what I find.
According to the buzz on the net, this is a gigafast product, the EE400-R Broadband router.
check this PDF link to make sure it's the right box.
It has a "Block client in LAN" feature built into it.
Like I described before. Plug that wireless router into the generic box, let it be assigned an address, and tell the generic box that that IP address cannot see the internet.
Then all the pc's you don't want internet on, are plugged into the wireless router, then no one plugged in there will access the internet.
I think that is the best way to do this.

Ok, then without the right model, or manual, all I can say is to attempt the previous configuration.
Good luck.
