| 685702 | 2008-07-06 02:28:00 | Ok slight networking glitch... I have 2 PC's and 2 lappies connected to my home network. The PC's and 1 lappie connected via ethernet cables to a router/print server (192.168.0.1). The last lappie connects via wireless to my adsl modem/router/firewall (192.168.1.1) The print server is connected via cable to the modem. I cannot access my network shares via the lappie on wireless unless I plug the file server directly into the modem. I have solved this problem by adding a second network card to the file server which plugs into the modem. So the file server now has two NICs; 1 connected to the print server and 1 connected to the modem. How do I set the network up so that I only need 1 NIC connected to the print server/router. I have tried changing the print server/router IP address to match the modem/router's IP range THUS: modem/router IP range = 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.15 print server/router IP range = 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.100 This didn't work and there is only Internet access if the host is plugged directly into the modem/router. I also set the DNS address for all PC's which use cable to 192.168.1.1 (which is the modem/router's address) This didn't work either!!! Anyone have any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong? Cheers, |

| 685703 | 2008-07-07 00:39:00 | What model is the modem/wireless device? Does it have only one ethernet port or more? Can you connect to the file server via IP address from the lappy. If you can then adding the dns name in the host file may help. |

| 685704 | 2008-07-07 00:48:00 | try taking the modem/router IP range = 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.255 Not stopping at 15, give it the full range 1-255 if you look at the setting you gave the print server/router IP range = 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.100 its IP address is 100, yet the modem has been set to stop at 15. |

| 685705 | 2008-07-07 02:56:00 | For a start you have two different networks, 192.168.0.?? and 192.168.1.??? You need to decide which one to keep. I would keep the ADSL router where it is (192.168.1.1) so 192.168.1.2-254 should be the IP address range for the rest of your network. You would need to change the print servers IP to 192.168.1.100 or whatever. Also make sure that DHCP is disabled on the print server if it has this as you can use DHCP in the ADSL router. If the print server is also a router and you have the cable from the ADSL router attached to the WAN/Internet port then you will need to change this as well otherwise you will still have problems. Just have the cable from the ADSL router to the print server attached to one of the LAN ports. |

| 685706 | 2008-07-07 03:24:00 | Ok thanks guys, yeah I had a word with our networking guru at work and he said to disable DHCP on the print server and just let the ADSL/router set IP's for the network. Will try this after work and see how I go. Cheers, |
