Hi,
I have 2 w/l routers + 1 wired adsl modem-router+ 1 w/l Access Point
connected wirelessly . Its a mess and my clients are not connecting and i
would welcome any advise . I have Win2k3 Server.
I wish to eliminate the w/l access point thru either of the foll. options
if they are workable .
1)I want to know if I can make a Network Bridge between the public Internet
connection and the private network connection. I have windows firewall . If I
do this it will eliminate the need for the w/l access point. How advisable is
this ?
2)If I replace the 502T with an ADSL W/L Modem+Router 604T (both of Dlink),
then can I eliminate the w/ access point also ? But this means External and
Internal Lan Cards are on same network segment because both their cables go
into 2 ports of the 604T ..is this possible ? Is it possible to have the 2
lan connections (1 external internet and 1 internal lan) on 2 separate
network segments but connected to a single router ? That is if internet is on
192.168.1.2 and lan on 192.168.2.200 and router on 192.168.1.1, can the lan
on server be accessed by client machines ?
My current situ is as under :
a. ADSL Wired Modem-Router link 502T thru which my BB comes. (IP:192.168.1.1)
b. This is connected to my win2k3 server which has 2 lan cards. One
(IP:192.168.1.2)links to the 502T, the other (192.168.2.200)to my pronet
wireless accesspoint(192.168.2.3). Upto here no problem.
c. A Dlink 604T wireless router(IP:192.168.2.188) receives signals thru the
pronet and then passes it to 3 thin clients (Wyse 1250- IP 192.168.2.15(PLUS
16 AND 17)) which are connected to it thru the cables.
d. The 4th slot of the 604T is wired to a Linksys WRT54G.(IP:192.168.2.4).3
of the linksys ports connect to 3 thin clients again
wired.(IP:192.168.2.20(PLUS 21 AND 22))
e. The 604T and the WRT54G communicate with each other but unless the 604T
communicates with the Pronet, I am stuck.
f.Since the Pronet AP , 604T w/l Router and the WRT54G W/L Routers are all
on the same 2 series network segment, why am i not being able to connect the
Pronet to the 2 Routers ? All the ips ping when i connect them to my laptop
but the routers dont ping the AP.
Also, when i type 192.168.2.3 and the pronet url opens up, i put in the
192.168.2.188 and 192.168.2.4 in the textboxes which open up below the router
name and the ssid and the channel info under " wep authentication" . I was
told this only meant that those routers required wep authentication and didnt
mean that the 192.168.2.3 recognised them which in any case it doesnt because
i get a " settings saved, device restarting " note and i dont get back the
url page again.
Sorry for this long post, but i am at my wits end and desperately need help.
Thanks.
