That is sort of what I have now. I want to make the wlan use DHCP to hook onto these 2 laptops. By creating a vlan on the NetGear wireless router like 192.168.1.100 /192.168.120 for instance.

I'm not sure of the way to do it on the NetGear wireless router. which has 192.168.1.1 as its address on the wired lan


I am not quite sure what you are wanting Al. If you just want to be able to have your laptops get an IP from DHCP then just setup a DHCP server with your Netgear. If your workstations and servers already have a static IP they will keep these even if there is a DHCP server on the network. Static IPs trump DHCP so you don't have to worry about your statically assigned systems getting a DHCP address.

Your router and/or switches would need to be vlan aware to create a vlan. You could just create a separate network altogether, say 192.168.2.* and do as Jason suggested. Then use your router to allow access between the two networks.

Hope that helps,

Jon
