Re: One Gateway, Two Networks

You could do this with a typical Internet router. However, I believe that a
DG824M is a modem/router. It may be that the onlly WAN/Internet port on
this device is for a DSL line rather than an ethernet connection. If so,
the only available connection to the Speedtouch is a LAN port - this would
put your machines on the same network. A quick visual check of this device
should confirm whether I am correct.

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)
