Hello, I'm trying to set up something like this:
adsl-connected router -> standalone router
| | |
Windows-XP PC Windows Vista PC Ubuntu Laptop
I'm doing this since I the 2 routers are far away from each other and there's only one ethernet cable going into my room, where I have the Vista and Ubuntu PCs. What configuration should I use? I've tryed setting the adsl one to use a bridge adapter and the standalone to be in bridge mode. They are both broadcasting dhcp. The only time I get network access is when I'm lucky and they both get ips from the adsl router for some reason. Turning off dhcp in the second router never worked.
I've also tried swapping the 2 routers and this particular configuration seems to be my most "lucky" guess so far. I have no idea what config options like multicast do so I've just been guessing so far. Can someone walk me through the process of connecting both routers?
