One Gateway, Two Networks

Hi there,

Can anyone point me towards a good article on how to setup two separate
networks from one broadband gateway router?

Background - I'm moving to a shared office, where they already have a
speedtouch broadband gateway with four ethernet ports (and I think a dynamic
IP address). I've been using a similar setup in my previous office with a
Netgear DG824M gateway router. Both of us have been sharing our various
folders on our networks, but now we we'll be sharing, I'd rather set us up
so that we can separate our two networks.

So what's the best approach? My networking knowledge is limited so far to
basic stuff (ie I know what NAT and POTS means but not how to set it up) and
so could do with some kind of walkthrough.

Hope I've been clear with what I'm trying to achieve!

Thanks in advance and best regards

John

PS - Both sets of PCs are using WinXP (mine are Pro, not sure yet what the
other are)

In that case, there would be two entries in the laptops routing table for the same subnet, so Windows will load-balance across the two routes, sending some traffic via the wireless and some via the LAN. ... If it's all one big network, ie you have your laptop plugged in to a wireless router, and also setup on the wifi, then you'll likely encounter problems because again both interfaces will be on the same subnet, here at least though it doesn't matter which is used as they both go to the same place. ...
