No, DHCP can work across a router when properly configured. Or the DHCP
addressing of the first network can be handled by its current DHCP schema (whether a server or manually configured) and the hidden part of the network can get addresses from the new router. Or you could configure all addresses manually if you'd rather. No big hu-hu in any case. -- Richard G.

What you need is a router to divide computers into different address ranges, otherwise all workgroups will be able to browse all other workgroups present on the network. You'd connect the router to the network with the T1 line, then configure it to provide addresses in the 192.168.1.x range to the computers that you want isolated from the computers in the 192.168.0.x address range. Connect the computers you want isolated to the router. Would that therefore require the static assignments of each IP address on the router and the computers and not DHCP? |

I guess the significant element is that there are TWO routers involved, each with a separate IP identity (i.e.: 192-168.XXX.yyy and the other 192.168.AAA.bbb). If the T1 modem only has one Ethernet port, can the two routers cascade through the other with the different (class c setup) IP addresses? Just curious as part of my education, not an urgent question of need. |

I have each system's IP addresses put in manually..I do not let the router assign them.. I was hoping to just assign a different IP range for the 4 systems and setup the gateway with the routers IP address in the TCP/IP setup.. But didn't work that way. As soon as I assigned the range to the 4 systems..they lost the T1.. Lou |

Depending on the class of router you get, some configuration may be
necessary. With consumer-grade routers, router #2 will get the configuration it needs from router #1 to establish an internet connection for the computers connected to router #2. With more expensive business-grade routers you may need to set up a route to allow computers on router #2 to see and use the internet connection on router #1. -- Richard G.

Yes, that will happen; and without a router to divide the networks there's
no way to prevent either the loss of the T1 connection or for all computers to see each other. -- Richard G.
