setting up network

**janouelle** · 10-31-2009, 07:02 PM

hello
i have 2 desktop pc that got windows 7 installed
the first pc is located in the Granny Flat and is connected to the internet through a modem router that is connected directly to the internet the other pc is located at the house and this computer is connected to the internet through a wireless router that is connected to the actual modem router and the reason for that another laptop is using wireless internet i mean i could connect both of the pc to the second wireless router but for the laptop it will be a far distance for wireless use
the problem is i cannot set network between these 2 pc i installed network magic on both pc and it only detects the router that is used on the pc that is located in the house and from there network magic detects only the modem router in the Granny Flat?
how i'm supposed to set network in this case?
10x in advance

Let's see if I have this straight. Internet access is through a wired router. One PC and a second router is direct connected to this router. A seond, wireless PC connects through the second router.
As far as I can tell from what you state, the problem is, the two PC's cannot see each other on the network but each have internet.

Is this correct?

Internet access is through a wired router that's right then 1 desktop pc is connected to the wired router and another wireless router is connected to the wired router and another desktop pc is connected to wireless router

Did you disable the DHCP in the wireless router?

Connecting two (or more) SOHO broadband routers together.

Note: The "primary" router can be an actual router, a software gateway like Microsoft Internet Connection Sharing, or a server connection that has the capability to supply more than one IP address using DHCP server capability. No changes are made to the primary "router" configuration.

Configure the IP address of the secondary router(s) to be in the same subnet as the primary router, but out of the range of the DHCP server in the primary router. For instance DHCP server addresses 192.168.0.2 through 192.168.0.100, I'd assign the secondary router 192.168.0.254 as it's IP address, 192.168.0.253 for another router, etc.

Note: Do this first, as you will have to reboot the computer to connect to the router again for the remaining changes.

Disable the DHCP server in the secondary router.

Setup the wireless section just the way you would if it was the primary router, channels, encryption, etc.

Connect from the primary router's LAN port to one of the LAN ports on the secondary router. If there is no uplink port and neither of the routers have auto-sensing ports, use a cross-over cable. Leave the WAN port unconnected!

This procedure bypasses the routing function (NAT layer) and configures the router as a switch (or wireless access point for wireless routers).
