RE: Windows network advice required (plus Tim decides to install some CAT5!)

["BUTLER, Tony, FM" <tony.butler@xxxxxxx>]

Hey - I never said I knew exactly how to do it :-)

 

The default gateway you set on the wlan will be the dhcp server for that network, and the default gateway for the other network will be the other dhcp server.

You might have to disable the wlan connection when connected to the wired lan.

Otherwise I guess you set up a statioc route on your pc to bung everything for the wired subnet across the wired ethernet connection.

Dunno what will happen when you do a dns lookup though - you might need to set up a local dns file for the hosts on the wired lan, or maybe just disconnect the wlan when taking to the wired one so all dns lookups on that connection will fail.

Sorry not much use, have only done VPN connections between 2 routers, where essentially you belong to 2 networks at once.....

How do you cope with the fact that there are two separate DHCP servers on the network though (can you easily separate them?), plus the fact that there are two different ADSL connections on the network - how is the routing worked out? 2 lots of 512k are much cheaper than a 1Mbit connection!

Okey doke. 

It is easy to have 2 network cards in a PC, with each having a different IP address, which will appear as two separate LAN connections. 

Another option (though a wee bit more expensive I guess) is to have a normal LAN card in your PC and an ethernet to wireless adapter that you plug into it when on the wireless lan, so you only have one device in the PC, and DHCP takes care of the IP assignments, depending on which network you are connecting to....

Certainly possible Tony (I've just had a quick try using built in XP networking and it is pretty simple to set up both at the client and server end.) It would however be preferable to have a local connection for bandwidth reasons. I often just bung a CD in the drive on my machine when I want to install software (using terminal services) on one of the clients.

I assume you mean you want to be able to connect your wireless pc to the
co-located network?
Why not set up a VPN so you can connect in that way.  The advantage is that
when the co-located network moves somewhere else, you can still remotely
connect to the network for support etc.

Dunno about doing this in software, but using a pair of Draytek ADSL routers
it is a piece of p*ss :-)


HTH,


Tony
