I'm trying to connect two routers to one Cable modem Internet connection.
The first router which is supplied by work and is setup to provide VPN
access on my work laptop at home over my Cable Internet connection. The VPN
is setup with a fixed IP address that's validated on the work server.
The second router which is a Linksys Wireless router is used for my home
computers to connect to the Internet over the same Cable Internet
connection. This connection is currently setup to use DHCP provided by the
router to the PCs. The address range for this router and PCs is based on
the default range of the router out of the box.
Since both address ranges are different, I tried to setup both routers on a
10/100 hub with the hub linked to the cable modem.
When I do this arrangement, the VPN works fine but I can't get the PCs on
the Linksys hub to see the Internet.
When I ipconfig all equipment, I see all IP address ranges I would expect to
see.
Should this concept work? And if so, any thoughts on what I would change to
make it work. I didn't know if I have to turn DHCP off on the Linksys
router and hard code the addresses on the PCs connected to it.
Thanks
Steve
