I have an ADSL modem/router to which I have connected a wireless router. I
have set up both devices as DHCP servers and have a desktop PC and laptop
connected to them. However I have a couple of problems with the setup.
1. In order to be able to access the wireless router setup screens using its
preset IP address (192.168.0.1) from the desktop PC I have to connect its
LAN cable to the wireless router. If I hook up the desktop directly to the
modem/router (192.168.1.1) the web browser cannot reach the wireless router.
Why is this? Should only the modem / router act as a DHCP server?
2. I can connect to the internet, get email, web surf and make VPN
connections from my laptop using wireless. However for some reason when
using wireless I cannot connect to the fileservers at my workplace over the
VPN connection. I can connect to the Exchange server at work (using Outlook
in both online and offline mode) but if I try to synchronize files or get at
files on the file servers everything grinds to a halt. This does not happen
if I use a LAN cable connected to the modem/router, I am able to synchronize
files and access the files without any problems.
Are these two issues indicative of an incorrect configuration of the two
devices?
Thanks...Graeme
