Hi Doug,

Thanks for the fast reply. Following your feedback I think I've found the
right thing then (Netgear RP614 -
http://www.netgear.com/products/details/RP614.php).

So would my previous a) - e) be right if you replace the DG824s with the
RP614?

Just want to be sure before I go ahead and buy the things.

Thanks again

John

No, Steve's solution contemplates that you would connect the
WAN/Internet
port of the respective routers to LAN ethernet ports on the SpeedTouch.
I
do not believe that your DG824M has a WAN/Internet ethernet port. If
this
is the case, you would need a different router.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your reply. I'm afraid I'm being a bit slow, so can I just
check
my thinking?

a) I connect my Netgear DG824M (Call this Netgear Router 1)
(http://kbserver.netgear.com/products/DG824M.asp) via one of its four
ethernet ports to one of the four ethernet ports on the DSL connected
Speedtouch 510 modem/router.

b) I do the same with a third router (maybe another DG824M). (Call this
Netgear Router 2)

c) I enable DHCP server on Speedtouch with IP range from 192.168.0.1 /
Subnet 255.255.255.0

d) I enable DHCP server on Netgear Router 1 with IP range from
192.168.1.1
/
Subnet 255.255.255.0

e) I enable DHCP server on Netgear Router 2 with IP range from
192.168.2.1
/
Subnet 255.255.255.0

The spec in the Netgear manual says:
..."The gateway incorporates Auto UplinkTM technology. Each LOCAL
Ethernet
port will automatically sense whether the Ethernet cable plugged into
the
port should have a 'normal' connection such as to a PC or an 'uplink'
connection such as to a switch or hub. That port will then configure
itself
to the correct configuration."...

So I'm assuming this means its ok to use the LAN ports to connect to
the
Speedtouch router?

Anyway, apologies for asking the same thing twice, but thanks for your
help.

Best regards

John

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)

For complete isolation between the two networks, while giving
Internet
access to the computers on both networks, use two more broadband
routers.

Connect the WAN (Internet) port on each additional router to a LAN
port on the Speedtouch gateway router. Connect the first business'
computers to LAN ports on the first additional router. Connect the
second business' computers to LAN ports on the second additional
router.

Thanks to you and Doug for your help. Are you able to point me
towards
a
product & walkthrough that would take me through it?

Thanks again

John

You're welcome, John. The setup is simple. Any broadband router
sold
at computer and office supply stores for home and small office use
will be fine. Connect everything as I said above. Make sure that
the
two new routers use a different IP subnet than the old router. For
example, if the old router uses 192.168.1.x, configure the new
routers
to use 192.168.0.x.
