Need help with network setup Mike 06-02-2005

Here's is our setup :

1 cable modem with 5 ip's hooked into a cisco router provided by the
ISP. This is then hooked into a Linksys router that then goes to our
switch.

Linksys router is conmfigured with 1 of the 5 static IP's

now I would like to add a second router in order to get to use a second
of the ip's that we have, but when I hookup that router to the CISCO
router, it casused havoc on our network, some machiens cant access
others, some DNS requetss wont go through etc...

Router 1 ip 192.168.1.1
Router 2 192.168.1.11
gateway machine is 192.168.1.2


what's the proper way to get this working right ?

I'm not familiar with the Cisco router you mentioned above, but I'd
say the easiest way to get things working right is to remove all
routers except one.

Pick your favorite router and connect it to the cable modem. Connect
the switch to the router. Connect up to 5 PC's to the switch. Power up
the cable modem, wait for it to stabilize, power up the switch
followed by the PC's. Done.

problem is we need 2 routers for 2 ip address and the port redirections
(port 80 has to be redirected to 2 machines). I was thinking of
splitting the network into 2, and having a winxp machine to bridge them
together, hoping that would solve my problem.

You have two static WAN addresses ?

The following is a *better* solution...

The Edimax PermaLink PRI-682 has two WAN ports and performs load balancing.

You don't want to try to concatenate one LAN with two routers and two WAN
addresses. I is
just not going to work right. Either you will have to use the Edimax to load
balance or
have two separate LANs, one for each Router and WAN address.
