    Two subnets...

    Y'all aren't good for much except sticking your hands out, are you? Maybe I should be asking questions that you can handle, like "why doesn't my wifi work" or "what cable do I use", or perhaps the ubiquitous "which router?". All I see here is the self-flagellation of a small group of indigent...

    Two subnets...

    I used a netbook running Wireshark to monitor the transfer of a .jpg from a LAN1 machine to a LAN2 machine. With the netbook plugged into LAN1 the transfer showed as using TCP. With the netbook plugged into the gateway router (192.168.0.1) between the two LAN routers the transfer used UDP...

    Two subnets...

    full circle... I can't talk to the LAN2 router when logged in on LAN1 and vice versa. I can communicate with every other device from either LAN except the opposite router. Not really a problem, more of an annoyance. My temporary work-around is to enable wifi and connect to LAN2 while...

    Here ya go. The network map was taken with the scanning computer (192.168.0.50) plugged into the 192.168.0.1 gateway router. I understand that cheap residential routers are not supposed to be able to do what the C5 can do: disable NAT and allow inter-subnet communications. The cameras...

    Two subnets...

    That's helpful... I've got one guy saying it's too complex and another thinking I should spend big bucks to do what has already been done... I didn't invent my network. There's this guy, maybe you've heard of him, name of Tim Higgins. Seems he did this back in 2003. Kinda figured maybe...

    Why hire someone when I have you...? And everyone else of course... The cameras must remain segregated from the netflix, I-Tunes and facebook side of the world, sharing only the NAS and the gateway router. Our internet is supplied via wifi and max's out at 5 down and 1 up; after 4 on a Friday I...

    Two subnets...

    Still can't ping the lan side of the two subnet routers; there's a checkbox on the Advanced Security page marked "Ignore Ping Packet from WAN Port to Router" that doesn't seem to do anything... I'm thinking the firmware needs reloading. I recall this problem showed up soon after ITunes was...

    Two subnets...

    The DNS mods had no impact, nor did deleting the dns/arpcaches with netsh, nbtstat -R and ipconfig/flushdns while rebooting the computer, routers and switches. Everything comes back to its prior state of connectivity. I went as far as forcing the routers MAC into the ARP table using arp -s, but...

    Thank you, Nullity. The Loyola University resource is going to require some slow reading to take it all in, but it clears up a few foggy areas... I'm going to adjust my DNS parameters on the LAN routers and check their performance in the morning. And the double-NAT thing... It seems that my...

    :) As mentioned, I'm happy with the system performance at the moment; just looking to understand how things are working. If something goes south I'm the tech on call: I document damn near everything so I can pick up the pieces 6 months from now.

    Two subnets...

    I decided on two subnets because the IP cameras degraded internet performance to dial-up status. My wife, well, you know... We were happy with 4 cams but there's been a rash of daytime B&E's in our rural area. Will be adding more cameras as the budget permits. The cams and related...

    Two subnets...

    Hello. I've spent the past few weeks absorbing information from here while upgrading to a new & improved home network. I've managed to get everything up and running well enough to walk away, but it was running a bit better and I'd like to understand what has changed... The "problem" is that I...
