I don't understand why 2 routers. Maybe I'm missing something. Unless you have 2 networks that need to be separate only one is needed. If you have a wireless router, use it as a wireless access point and not a router. Which means turn off DHCP on the wireless router and don't configure or use the WAN connection. Depending on the capabilities of the router you can connect a LAN port on Router2 to your ADSL (Router1) router and assign an IP address that's in the same network as Router1.

Thanks, but I only have a very limited understanding of this matter. Does this mean I had to add netfilter to the kernel and configure iptables ? sathish > Mike > > -- > gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list > > -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
