Tough One This!!!:confused:

Hi,
I'm trying to put my network onto DSL and have run into a few problems.

Firstly, I have a server that is connected to an ISDN router in order to do automated ordering from our main suppliers. I need to keep this line but also have it connected to DSL.

All My pc's are networked using the ip range on the Isdn Router 10.255.148....

the default gateway is 10.255.148.254. My question is if I change the I.P address of the DSL router to the same as the ISDN router can I get both to work that way????

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I dont really think I can help you here . Hope ecross or someone finds this thread he could give you way better answers than I.
I would assume that you would have to let 1 of the routers assign ip's to the other router.Maybe using a bridge would work. Or setup separate network group from the dsl router. Best I can do is give you the following link

Ermm.........why?? surly you can connect through the DSL line just the same??

Hi,
In order to use the DSL router I would have to change the IP Range of all my networked Machines which would mean they would no longer be able to see the ISDN router( Am I right in saying this???) this is my problem but if I changed the IP of the DSL router to the same as the ISDN or vice-versa would I be able to use both or will I get conflicts??. This is my problem!!!


Thanks for your replies,

104456,
I asked them the same question!!! they have told me they're systems are not compatible with a broadband connection and they have no intention of making them compatible in the short term.


Thanks,

Another thought Why not connect your DSL connection to a wirless router put wirless nic's in pc's thus giving them dsl acess to WWW. Have no idea how many you are connecting but this would work on a small scale without 2 much cost
I think.

You can't give both routers the same IP address, but you can put both on the same network. The ideal way to set it up would be to configure your machines so the default gateway is the IP address of the DSL connection, but then create static route(s) to the supplier through the ISDN link:

route -p add network mask subnet_mask 10.255.148.254

That assumes you can find out what network(s) you need to connect to on the supplier's side of the ISDN link though.
