How to isolate subnets so that DHCP requests don’t pass over

by tristan.smit . Updated 17 years, 9 months ago

I have two physically separated buildings which I would like to connect together via a wireless link. The two building each have their own respective subnets – 192.168.0.x and 192.168.1.x. I have a DHCP server on each physical subnet. Currently a VPN connects the two buildings but I would prefer to run traffic through a wiress connection to speed things up and avoid going through the internet. My problem is that when I establish the wireless connection sometimes clients grab an ip from the DHCP server in the other building and this causes many issues. How can I stop the DHCP requests from going from one building to another? I have a couple of Windows 2003 server which I can multi-home but if this is the answer I need some detailed instructions on how to set this up. Thanks in advance.
