So, here is my situation.
We have 2 apartments, both have Cable internet.
Currently we have it set up so that our router gives all the IP addresses, and their router is simply acts as a gateway so they use thier internet connection and we use ours. It works pretty well, but its very bad as far as control and if the router goes down the whole thing does (which it shouldent but thats another story).
Here is what the new plan is. We want to have 2 m0n0wall routers, one per apartment.
One Apartment router would assign IPs 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.100 and the
other apartment would assign the IPs 192.168.0.101-192.168.0.200
We would use 3 network cards per m0n0wall computer, one for WAN, one for LAN and then the other we would connect together to use as a bridge (not 100% sure about the bridge settings yet but i'll figure that out tonight)
Basically what I'm asking is what do you think? I really am last as far as subnets go, i'm assuming they would be on the same IP range and same subnet.
Will this work?
