Sorry, you are correct 192.168.0.130 should have been
192.168.0.138.
It
is
the Speedstream 4200 Modem/Router that gives internet access.

I think I did already try the setup without the vigor Router and
still
could
not access the internet from the 192.168.3.x subnet. I will
confirm
that
is
the case over the weekend.

Thank you for your help so far.

OK, Troy. We'll take it one step at a time. Let us know what you
find
out, and
I'll look thru your analysis again a few times while I wait.

I removed the Vigor Router from the equation and verified the
connection
of
the WAN port on the DLink Router to the DLink Switch Port 1.

WAN settings for the DLink Router are still the same at IP =
192.168.0.2/255.255.255.0 Gtwy = 192.168.0.138) Prmy DNS =
192.168.0.138
Secondary DNS = 0.0.0.0.

Can Ping 192.168.0.x subnet.

Still cannot access the Internet with IE (web page doesn't display)
however
when i tracert to 66.102.7.104 (www.google.com) I get 20 hops to the
destination OK.

Troy

Try,

What happens if you try http://66.102.7.104 from PC1 and PC2?

Also, let's look at "ipconfig /all" from PC1 and PC2.

I tried using the ip address 66.102.7.104 in the address bar in IE and
it
worked. I forgot to try it on PC2 and PC3 but these PCs don't have
problems
connecting to the internet. I will however do this tonight and let you
know.

Please find below ipconfig /all dump for PC1 and PC2:

Troy,

If you can access 66.102.7.104, but not www.google.com, you have a DNS
problem.
Looking at ipconfig for PC1, I don't see any DNS servers listed. That's
a
problem. PC2 is using 192.168.0.138 as a DNS server - try setting PC1
up
with
that.

Should the PC DNS configuration handle this or should the Router DNS
configuration handle it?

For ease of configuration and centralisation would this not be better done
in the Router if that is it's purpose or am I completely off track here?

As the Router is currently setup with a Primary DNS of 192.168.0.138
should
I set the DNS on the NIC of PC1 to 192.168.0.138 (Modem/Router on
192.168.0.x subnet) or to 192.168.3.1 (Router on 192.168.3.x subnet which
subsequently points to 192.168.0.138)?

Will give both configurations a try tonight and let you know.

Thanks for your help so far.

Regards

Troy

Changed the DNS IP on the NIC on PC1 to 192.168.0.138 and the Internet
sprang to life. Tried changing the DNS IP to 192.168.3.1 but this did NOT
work. I guess for me this raises the question what is the DNS Address for on
the Router or is it just not used in my situation.

Anyhow this seems to have solved the issues/questions that I have had and I
wish to thank you for your assistance.

I think I will have some more questions about file sharing and Remoting
between subnets but I think I need to let this stuff soak in and do some
more reading about subnets.

Thanks again.

Troy
