Had Cox Preferred Internet Service @ 3 months of an Introductory rate - It was really great, but cannot afford the $79/mo regular price. But the years of feeling that DSL was superior to cable has proved me wrong. Besides Cox is light years ahead of SBC/ATT in terms of customer service. So I went with the SBC Download speeds up to 3.0 Mbps for $17.99 a month and Downgraded Cox to the Value service with speeds of up to 256 Kbps at $9.95 a month. That way the family can have some decent download speeds, won't have to change their email addresses. And SBC has some router issues in this area as she cannot connect to the School Systems message board unless I ping the location about 30 times first. =============Equip with ============== Have a router/modem for SBC Running on local network at 192.168.1.xxx Have a router/modem for Cox running on local network at 192.168.2.xxx Also have a Network Printer on local network @ 192.168.2.24x Also have a NOS drive on local network @ 192.168.2.24x =============HOW TO SET UP ================ Should I change the address of one of the router so that each is within - lets say - 192.168.2.xxx????? Then Should I install a second network card on the current machines with only a single Ethernet card?????? Then would I bridge the two cards together under network connection settings - but have cable only going to one of the cards???? Or ???????? what ?????? Thanks
