Re: Joe's Twisted-up Network

Hello Doug,

Thank you foir your reply,

I need to do a tiny bit more explaining. The DNS's you see here are my ISP's
and I removed the IP's lase digits for security reasons.

WAN side of these routers are configured lke this
69.65.81.13x
255.255.255.0
69.65.81.1

DNS
24.233.167.168
24.233.167.168
This is the FR11P router

The other is the same with a public IP of 69.65.81.14x

THE WAN side of this is fine it is the internal part that is confusing me.
How do you get these routers to work toghether in an AD DC enviroment
internally?
Do you physically add a cable between them?
I do not see a DNS option on the LAN side of these routers. However I do see
a WINS option on the FVS318.

Thank you very much
Joe
