router behind a router questions
hey all
i recently aquired a working dlink router for free.
wireless. which is good cause the wireless router for my family is on the other side of the house.
anyway.
i would like to run a router behind a router. so i can have a network i can pratice securing, destroying, rebuilding. etc..
and allow me to simulate problems that my friends experience...*help me omg i cant connect to battle.net!"
so this is how the network is setup
internet ---> cable modem --> Linksys router(192.168.1.1)
...................................................................................|
...................................................................................|
...................................................................................---> Dlink router (192.168.0.1)
if i have a computer connected to the dlink... example address of 192.168.0.102... and i want to connect to a web-server running directly connected to the linksys with address of 192.168.1.138... i simply type that address in the address bar, right?
how i see it, try and follow me on this one... trying to connect to an IP on the internet from the linksys is the same as trying to connect to a comp on the linksys from the dlink... i just type in the address of that computer and NAT will find its way correctly.
its important that i leave NAT enabled on my dlink so i can make an enviornment inside an enviornment...
if any of this is confusing please tell me, id be happy to clear it up
thanks for your time! hex
