Networking computers with 2 ISP
I have a two DSL lines coming in, each DLS line comes with 5 static ip's.
DSL1-connects to a Sonic Wall router wich connects to Win2k server pc.
DSL2-connects to a Lynksys router that has 4 computers connected to it, all running windows XP pro.
How can I get the computers behind the lynksys router to network with the computer behind the sonic router??????.
feel free to e-mail any diagrams to gusquiroz@hotmail.com.

qwaletee, when we turn DHCP off, it does not matter Router is using static or Dynamic IP Address?
Lets say Router is getting a Dynamic IP Address.
and Dhcp is disabled.
so i can use a Static IP on my NIc, it should be no problem?

Then, uplink the two routers to each other or to a common switch/hub
Then, set static routes between the two routers.
Example:
Sonic Wall owns 192.168.0.* (192.168.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0). All computers connected to Sonic Wall are in the same 192.168.0.x range
LinksSys owns 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0). All computers connected to LinkSys are in the same 192.168.1.x range
After setting that up, create a single network "segment" out of the two... if one has an Uplinjk port, connect it to a standard port on the other. Or, use a crossover cable between two regular ports. or if you have none to spare, get a hub or switch, and connect it all up.
Now, technically they can route traffic to each other, they just don't "know that" So, on the Sonic Wall, set a static route to the LinkSys segment (192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0) via the LinkSys address (192.168.1.1).
And, vice versa.

The only problem you might run into is DHCP conflicts. I would turn one DHCP off, and set static addresses for teh boxes that used to se that DHCP.
