ip problem

[makisbest]

Hi all

I have in my house a 3com wireless router with ip 192.168.1.1.

In the office a linksys wireless router with ip 192.168.2.1 that goes to the second lan card of my sbs2003 server how used as proxy server with ip 192.168.1.1.
You can understand that my lan has internal ip as 192.168.1.x and the sbs2003 server share internet from the second lan card with ip 192.168.2.2

I want with my wireless laptop to connect in the internet at home and in the office and to have access to the local lan at the same time.

Is that possible?

p.s.

I don’t want to change the ip in the router at home.
The ssid is the same for both the routers
I have windows xp home.

It shold just work of you set the laptop to obtain an IP address automatically. If that fails use the alternate IP address for one of the networks.

Perhaps I'm not understanding the question correctly, but why are you running a 192.168.1.x and a 192.168.2.x?

But, if that's what you want to do, and see BOTH IP addresses, you need to set your netmask to 255.255.0.0 instead of 255.255.255.0

With 255.255.0.0, it will see 192.168.x.x as opposed to using 255.255.255.0 where it will only see 192.168.1.x or 192.168.2.x (depending on your IP address)



Just my 2¢

if you obtain an ip address automatically, it will choose only one. you should specify a static ip address with an alternate as described in post number 2 above.
