vnc problem with different subnets

[dafuzzbudd]

problem:
i want everyone to vnc each other plus accept connections from the internet
atleast i want my d-link pc to vnc linksys and accept views from the web

setup:
have a d-link plugged into a linksys plugged into cable modem

ips:
i have linksys set at 192.168.0.1 with dhcp to start at 0.101
the d-link is static at 192.168.1.1 taking ip 0.100 from the linksys
dlink pc is at 1.100
linksys pc is at 0.101

firewall:
on the linksys i have 0.100 manually set for big range of ports open (not dmz)
the d-link is set to allow specific ports
my http server on 1.100 is working on the web
dmz on either router messes up my internet

other:
from the d-link pc i can ping everything
the linksys pc can only ping the router at 0.100, no 1.1, no 1.100

seems like the dlink has better access to things
the linksys can not seem to reach backwards into the other subnet
i have other problems sharing files through windows but i think that's normal

i dont know why home networking seems so problematic/unstable
thanks for all help

It is a little hard to help you since D-Link and Linksys are names of corporation and Not of a specific Network?s Hardware Devices.

My guess is that you are talking about Routers, and since you connected the second Router to the first Router through the WAN port, you created two segregated Networks.

I do not know what exactly you are trying to do read these two pages, it might be that they are not relate directly to what you are trying to do but they describe the principle involved.

Without true routers (rather than home-grade Linksys and D-Link gateways), you won't be able to use VNC to connect many PCs across two different subnets. Some of the PCs won't be able to find the others because of the one-way nature of the NAT built into the home-grade gateways. That's why some of your PCs can't ping others.

so this is just a no-go..?

damnit having two routers is such a problem...

You didn't mention why you have two routers.....
Usually, you only do that if you want to isolate two networks so that one can't talk to the other.

turn off DHCP on one router, and plug in LAN port to LAN port

LOL. nweaver, you are making this too easy. We're supposed to go on for a dozen more posts before we get to that.

i tried disabling dhcp on the one but no luck
i had the wan of non-dhcp router into lan of the dhcp router with a straight cable

am i suppose to do it lan-lan?

if i do it this way i get dhcp on ALL computers?

Yes and yes. Put a piece of tape over the WAN port of one of the routers and never use it. Turn off DHCP on THAT router.

It helps if you set the IP address/Subnet Mask of the LAN side of that router to a value on the same subnet as the other router. That way, you can easily talk to both routers on your network if you need to reconfigure either one.

 

[dafuzzbudd]

wow that worked well
i tried that before not knowing it had to be lan-lan

thanks fellas

Yeah all of this story is in details in my post above.

I guess you did not know that the first line is a Link.

Nobody reads anymore.
