hi there,
im having a little problem with my lan ip's and dns's adresses and cannot see shares between computers
here's my lan setup
i have 1 modem/router/wireless and one wireless router connected on one of the Ethernet ports of the modem. Got 2-3 pc's connected on both machines...
it's something like this

Modem 10.0.0.138
------PC1 10.0.0.1
------PC2 10.0.0.2
------PC3 10.0.0.11 (wireless)
---Router 10.0.0.139
------PC4 10.0.0.201
------PC5 10.0.0.211 (wireless)

PC1,2 and 3 have 10.0.0.138 as Gateway and DNS addresses
pc 4 and 5 have 10.0.0.139 as gateway and DNS

i can see shares between pc's 123 and pc's 4 and 5

but nothing between the grps 123 and 45
i think it's some kind of dns or gateway settings, so if u could give me a hand i would really apreciate it...
trying adresses could take too long :)

cheers,
ask me whatever additional info u need

Is the router connected to the modem via the WAN port or one of the LAN ports?

by sargeclive

it's on the one of the lan ports
doubt there's a wan port on my modem
there's only 4 lan ports on it

Set it up in Access Point mode, or pass-through, or like some sort of dumb hub mode, it's going to completely depend on the make and model for the accurate lingo, but your basically just going to turn off all routing features for the second router, and use it like a hub, even if the second group of pc's are wireless(wont matter).

Unless it's important that your second router, perform as a router, well then that's a different can of worms.

ill check the settings of the router, see if i can get some options like this...

there's no DNS settings or anything i could tweak?
