Hello,
I have read many of the posts concernng this problam and I seem to dense, so here is my setup.
In this nework there is a Westell DSL modem that connects to two 8 port switches. 15 ports are connected to PCs and printers, the PC's all have internet connectivity with basic addresses of 192.168.1.X. Yes I know this is a big network but I can not change it. It has XP and Win 7 PC's.
Another network of 3 PC's and 2 printers are interconnected by another 8 port switch. This network is not connetced to the internet and has addresses of 10.173.133.X. This network has a server running Solaris wth a dedicated application. The PC's run both this application and Windows XP.
At one time I had this configured so that the 10.173 network could access the internet through a router, but a hardware failure and a requirement from the applicaton supplier, required me to remove the router and replace it with a switch.
Now I was wondering if I could put a router between the two switches so the 10.173 could access the 192.168 network internet.
I have a Netgear FVS318 v3 router that has a default confiuration of 192.168.0.X. Can I use this to interconnect the two switches?
Thanks for any help.
