cable modem – Router – Switch – Server connection
LockedHi! All,
I am trying to setup a network for the second time. Something went bad to my router and I had to change it to netgear router which I am trying to resetup/configure to fit my network setup but I having hard time. I could have done silly mistake while doing this but could not figure out what. My internal network is working just fine though.
Here is the sinario:
I have splitted incoming cable internet line into 2 lines going to 2 cable modems. first one is connected to one router then switch then servers and PCs..woking fine….(entire network)GREAT.Now 2nd line is connected to another modem and the idea is same as above (needs to create new network as if the first one does not exists). The incoming intenet line is working through the modem. If I leave the default IP for router (192.168.1.1) I can connect to my testing laptop though the router and get to internet… fine.
As soon as I change the default IP (137.30.1.1 which I need to), DHCP enable from 137.30.1.100 to .150 and restart router, modem, testing laptop eveything screws up. I cannot even get back to the web console of router.
I do worry about wireless yet since I do not need at this point. I tried ipconfig /release…ipconfig /renew all those to reset ip on my testing laptop but no luck. Is there something I messed up? If I recall, this is exactly what I did when I set this up for the first time.
Any thought or help would be really appriciated.
Thanks
