Sharing resources across routers
Hi there
We've got a school network linked to the internet by cable modem. Behind the modem a switch connects four routers (each with its own IP address) to different parts of the network. - router 1 (IP 123.456.78.001) - network dept 1 internet - switch - router 2 (IP 123.456.78.002) - network dept 2 - router 3 (IP 123.456.78.002) - network dept 3 - router 4 (IP 123.456.78.002) - network dept 4 Is it possible to share resources across these routers (eg. computer in dept. 3 printing on printer in dept 1)? If so how? Some machines use WinXP others WinME. Thanks in advance andrew.klemm |

took the time to tell us all in oups.com: Hi there We've got a school network linked to the internet by cable modem.

If so how? Some machines use WinXP others WinME. Thanks in advance andrew.klemm Using NETBIOS comes to mind, and should be disregarded as a bad idea. Insstead of the swwitch, a router could provide what you need, bearing in mind a good firewall needs to be implemented at that level, so nobody past your gateway can share the resources of those public IP's. I recommend you get a network pro on this, as the job would be cheap and done right. In fat, there is probably one sympathetic enough in your area to do it at cost or free. -- "Time will bring to light whatever is hidden; it will cover up and conceal what is now shining in splendor."
