Default Help!

Yes, that is exactly what I said in different words. Only one of the routers
can be set as a DHCP server. You will have to set the gateway statically on
the computers that you want to use the router that is not the DHCP server.

Hey,


It all made alot of sense, and I think I get at what you're saying,
however it also made no sense...all at the same time.

It is going to be very hard to explain a diagram through words, so
I was wondering if you could scribble up a little dealy with Paint or
something and email it to me. I understand, as I said, but the when
and the where and what, and how is missing.

I had a thought, and I'm no expert...but maybe this would work?
Each router has one modem connected to it. Each router has a
different
IP. So I set computer 1 to access 192.168.0.1 as its default gateway.
Computer 2 has 192.168.0.2 set as its default gateway.
But otherwise, everything is left connected much the same way as it
is now.
Would I still be able to maintain my network and filesharing?

Thanks.
