I have the computers all networked currently. Router number 2 has dhcp disabled. The office shares a connection with the home. I got a seperate cable connection in the office now. I still want to keep the network and if possible share the cable connection across networks. I cant figure this out.... I wanted to know if anyone could help me. With the laptops i dont think it will be a problem to jump from wireless network to network..


So i want to use the cable connection on pc#1 from both routers. Is this possible?? And if not i just want each router to have its own cable connection but networked with each other

Its ran outside. Out the home window, on top of the store into the office(window)

I had the internet shared from the router(lan2 on router) - lan 1 into office router. OFfice pc is connected to lan2 on office router and dhcp is disabled. I am able to be on the home network and share the internet connection from home. Wire is 200 feet. I want to be able to somehow share both connections over network. So Home pc uses the home connection and office connection through the cat5 wire. ANd the same goes for office to use the connection from office and home at the same time.


Its sorta like balenced load no? Is this type of connection is possible useing 2 routers 2 internet connections.

If not i just want it to be able to share files from router to router connection. POssible how?

Also if you can help me out to secure the whole connection by restricting to ips and mac addresses

that cable between the buildings could kill both networks with a static event.
Are both the cable accounts with the same provider? if so I'd put both modems in the same building, whichever one you prefer. I would either build a linux box for the sharing of connections, or buy a router that supported two wan ports. I would connect the remote network wirelessly, to eliminate the risk of running cable between buildings.

agreed, your tempting fate and your equipment with a copper cable above ground. Bad idea.
