A network question

November 30th, 2013

Is there any way to have my setup be: modem>switch>router1>computer1 and also connected to the switch is router2>computer2?
Answer #1
That setup doesn’t make any sense,A switch only passes the connection as-is and is normally used along with a router to extend the capability when all the Ethernet ports are taken,You shouldn’t use it directly with a cable modem,And why would you need 2 routers anyway? What are you trying to achieve?
Answer #2
Yes. Easily. However it depends on the type of NAT your routers support. You could even disable NAT. After configuring NAT you’ll need to configure some routes. We need more detail like:
1) Detailed hardware information you have
2) Detailed info on the subnets/IP addressing

What are you trying to achieve?It makes perfect sense. Just not a lot of it if used at home. lol
Answer #3
Usually you just buy a router and connect everything to it, you don’t really need a complicated setup unless your a business and need some sort of server link to share internet.
