I currently have a WRT54GL as my main router being fed from my modem. From the WRT it has 4 cables comming from it.
- My Computer (top floor)
- Fathers Dell (top floor)
- Fathers Notebook (top floor)
- Server (basement)
Now with the PS3 and Wii coming out I would like to be able to run a wired connection down into my basement so I can have ethernet cables going to my game table letting my get online. Now the cable going from my router through my vents and floor heading to my basement s not long enough to properly connect it into any systems.
What I would like to do is to use a BEFSR41 that was my old router (4 port wired router) plug the Ethernet cable going downstairs that runs into my basement server into my router. Then have a cable going from there to my basement server and two going over to my game table.
So once again it would be ----
Modem -> WRT54GL -> 3 Computers (Mine, Notebook, Dell) -> BEFSR41 -> Basement Server and Two to Game Table.
Now I have set my network up to assign IPs via MAC addresses, but I am wondering when I do this what I will have to do inorder to get it to bypass the router or control the IP's or what not.
Hope this all made sense and I look foward to getting some responses.
Thanks.
