Two dhcp server?

[cbs604]

Just a tad unsure about this. I have a adsl modem/router connected to a d-link router. Both have dhcp enabled - should one of them be disabled, or does the d-link router override the modem/router?

I tried disabling the modem one, but that caused a bit of mayhem for awhile.

The modem router issues addresses 192.168.0.2 -> and the d-link router issues addresses 192.168.15.2 ->. The nodes are picking up the latter range of addresses, so obviously assigned by the d-link.

So, what to do with the modem dhcp server - just leave it alone?

Cheers,

The only device talking to the modem (on the same broadcast)is the DLINK, so it doesn't really matter whether you turn the modem one off or not. I'd just leave it alone.

Many thanks for that.
