Thanks, the link you provided stormy1 explains how to do it :)

Hi djflow195, thank you for helping me! :) The main router (192.168.1.1) is set to the settings above already. Now Router2 needs to be set to: 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 Maybe you answered this already, but do I need to put it on LAN or WAN for the port this route applies to? I disabled...

I'd like to create a static route to the 192.168.2.0 network so if I wanted I can access administration features of devices connected to the LAN ports of Router2. Haven't figured that one out yet, and I guess I'm on my own because my setup is "not supported".

I do appreciate the effort, especially Stormy1 who provided a tool I will continue to use, most likely for all future network diagrams. I note that people cared, I just do not understand why not a single person asked the required questions to provide me with the answer, primarily router model...

If there is a lack of specific information needed for how to do a static route, I'm happy to provide. Nobody asked me which router firmware I am using so they could specifically instruct me for that firmware. If they had, I'd have said. I highly doubt that there are several ways to do a static...

I think it's not particularly nice that someone wants to know the whole setup, then after seeing how it is setup will not help with my specific question. I don't want to spend money on a different setup, which was the only real answer given to how to do a static route. Maybe my static route...

You did actually, with network notepad. That was helpful. I'm referring to those who know how to setup a static route and refused to tell me how.

No thanks to anyone here with your opinions, I was able to figure out how to setup a static route. I watched youtube videos and eventually got it configured. Speeds are now 50mbit through Router2, vs 30-40mbit before with NAT enabled. It also increased responsiveness for browsing.

Short of a "real" solution, the Router2 does fix the problem which is correctly described above. Thanks for diagnosing the problem though. :) I want to configure Router2 to be setup behind Router1.

Thanks for the tip! Hopefully this diagram works better. I could provide the model in the picture of the routers in use, but I've changed them several times lately.

Here is the Cisco 1142N config.txt file for examination, [SSID1] and [password] were the only things edited before posting: ! ! Last configuration change at 19:11:06 UTC Fri Mar 1 2002 version 15.3 no service pad service timestamps debug datetime msec service timestamps log datetime msec...

I would like to avoid using Router2, but the only other solution I see is to replace the Cisco 1142N as it refuses to pass DHCP to any device attached behind another device like the SR10000. I'm able to avoid this by adding the second Router2. That's why I'm asking how to setup the two routers...

So judging my setup you don't agree with helping me.

Hello MrGuvernment, excellent question. The Cisco 1142N, while providing very good coverage and top speeds in areas of the house where signal was weak with other access points, does not work right with SR10000, SR300 and other such devices. I'm told it's not a setting, that it's just not a...

Anyone? Seems it would not be too hard, I'm just not that familiar with exactly how IP addresses work with multiple routers. I do believe NAT is not supposed to be enabled except on the router connected directly to the modem.

I'm trying to figure out how to setup a static route to disable NAT, for a second router on the network which is providing DHCP to computers connected to it's LAN ports. I put the second router on a separate IP address, first router hooked up through the second routers WAN port. The first router...

Yes on the router wireless and lan ports, no on the switch. I set the switch to a static ip. Edit: the issue, for an unkown reason was caused by the access point. I tried a different access point for wireless and now it works.

Net was short for internet, not network. :D Wondered when someone would comment on it. Anyways, give an example. Say I plug in the switch to port 1 of the router, the router being an Asus RT-N53, then I access the switch by wifi off of the router, it does not connect to the switch ip.

Yes, 192.168.1.1 and 255.255.255.0

Same subnet, router is 192.168.1.1 and switch is 192.168.1.244 static, computer is dhcp ip from the router. I would assume the admin page uses port 80, which I doubt is blocked by a firewall?

I've got a question, what setting controls access to the Zyxel admin page (switch ip page) for a person not directly connected to the LAN ports of the switch? I can access it from computers connected to the switch, but if I try through a computer connected to the router and not the switch, the...

Interesting, so I gave this some consideration, and realized a possibility of the problem was that the hard drive might be causing slowdowns. So I tried a different computer with a solid state drive. No more slowdowns. Thanks for pointing this out.

This post has had me thinking about dual stuff. My question is, if I wanted to do a switch setup that does failover, what would this require? I'm assuming the router is the one that does the failover, and the switches have to be managed ones. What protocol is used on such a dual switch setup?

Wow, thank you for this observation on the warranty Camaro. I appreciate it. And if I don't have to worry about auto-negotation then maybe a ZyXEL would be a better option. Edit: I got Linksys and ZyXEL switches and compared them. I ran speed tests transferring ISO files between computers, the...

And the advice is get a managed ZyXEL or HP Procurve? I am not against doing this, tbh. Though some advised to get the Netgear...

I also noticed the Netgear has a nice lifetime warranty... right? Wrong, 2 year on the power adapter. That means if it fails, middle of something important (heavy load for example), Netgear will not back it after 2 years. Well, it feels like it's not made to last, and I guess Netgear agrees. I...

I decided to have a look at the GS108 from Netgear, wow that switches wall wart is light. In fact, it's so light it feels like I have a paper envelope in my hand. :D

I've been reading some reviews on the newer SE3008 switch (8 port) and it's issues, one big issue I see is some say they have to reboot it after their modem has a disconnection (I guess the DHCP server being rebooted), which makes me wonder if the older LGS108 model with fewer features would be...

I decided to order the ZyXEL one as it is available warehouse deals on amazon for $56+tax. Edit: After reading the manual for the ZyXEL I think I'm just going to get another Linksys one, that auto senses the port speed because having to track each device cable to which device, and set the...

Yup, the more I use VMware Workstation, the more I don't like Hyper-V. A barebones server oriented virtualizer which doesn't offer much in terms of the interface. Free with Windows 8.1 Pro, I guess you can't expect much.

I played with Dynamic Memory in Hyper-V, once installed Server 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1 Enterprise evaluation versions will boot up with 512mb of ram assigned to each install. I can fit all 3 in 4gb of ram, and use them. So with 8gb it should run more than 3 virtual machines. I also got the...

The laptop I ordered is a Thinkpad T410, so close to what you have (i5-520M is a slower generation though). When I found out I have to put a bunch of ISO images on the hard drive for each install on Hyper-V Gen2, I decided to pull a 128gb SSD from a computer I wasn't using, and buy a 2tb hard...

I have comcast residential for internet, according to this page (a quick google result), it is against our agreement to host a VPN off of the connection. http://www.practicallynetworked.com/news/comcast.htm So while I could do it at home on the LAN, if I wanted to access my lab computers from...

Running it on an external is a great idea. Thanks for the post. I decided to buy an external enclosure: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P1S5IWG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 And run a SSD 250gb hard drive in it off of eSATAp, as the laptop has an eSATAp port (it's usb ports...

I've been doing some research, and it seems that the biggest issue with Virtualbox I've spotted is it does not manage ram as well, which means it may run slower or freeze on older systems (what I'm dealing with here). Guess the best bet would be to run everything on Hyper-V, or buy VMware...

I've been doing some thinking, and perhaps I could run just 2 virtual machines running both windows 8.1 pro and server 2012 r2, as long as the operating system running the vm's is windows 8.1 pro. Then I'd have the total of 3 I needed, though the main OS would be tied to the domain for the...

I'm setup at home with a handful of computers, the goal with this would be to be able to work at say a coffee shop away from home. So running something off the lan I don't think that would work. Upgrading the hard drive seems a must, I just priced out 1tb drives and I can get one for $70 so...

The book I ordered says it will require 2 installs of windows 8, and 1 of server 2012, all running at once to learn Group Policy and Active Directory. The book recommends running VMware Workstation for virtualization, but makes no mention of the amount of ram required to do this. How much is...

It would be home the play around with for learning purposes. But if the hardware were to fail that could be annoying. I'm debating to just keep it on a Dell Optiplex 755 I have, which isn't exactly server grade but it's still a lot more dependable than a mini-computer I think.

I've been looking at these little tiny computers, and considering using one for a DNS, DHCP, and AD DC computer running Server 2012 R2. I might want to run other things on it too, as I go along. What I'm reading though, in reviews, is that they aren't particularly reliable, and some seem to...
