Crash Between 2 Routers

[Coolstream]

I have a wired broadband router and linksys broadband router n my internet is primarily connetcted through the wired one and the wireless router is connected to the wired router

both my router have DHCP setting on
if my computer ( which has a wired and a wireless card ) on, my computer get confused n won't go into windows xp

i think it's because IP crash problem

is there a way to solve this ?

I don't know about that, but I should warn you that the linksys routers have a history of firmware issues that can be exploited by hackers. It only occured in some models, but you should look into it if you are security concious.

Stream,

You cant have two DHCP servers on the same network trying to serve a client. It wont work properly. Turn the dhcp off on the linksys and set it the recieve dhcp or set it up with a static ip in the same subnet,subnet mask and make the ip address of the broadband router the default gateway. commomnly something like this.

IP on BB router lan side
192.168.0.1

DHCP on BBRouter Lan side
default gateway 192.168.0.1
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
First DHCP address 192.168.0.5


Staic IP on Lan side of the Linksys
192.168.0.2
255.255.255.0
192.168.0.1

Plug the PC into the lan port on your linksys. Now your laptop and desktop will get addressed by the BB router and the linksys is just acting as a switch. The addresses will start at 192.168.0.5 and everything should work fine. Hope that helpes
