Well I have comcast cable and am running a hotspot from at my house. I was using 2 IP's from the modem as I didn't want the hotspot traffic to see my LAN. Basically the network went from the MOdem to a switch to both a dlink wireless router and also from the swith to a Linksys wired router which led to my LAN.
I got a letter from comcast stating that I "may" be using 2 IP's ( I was) and that they were going to terminate one of them. I was wondering what I could do so I could still run the hotspot but still be safe from prying eyes.
I am going to run the wireless router off of the wired. I know the Dlink wireless router has a default Ip of 192.168.0.1 and the Linksys has one of 192.168.1.1. Since the clients of the wireless will have a different IP extention of 0.1XX and not 1.1XX of my Lan, will they be able to see my LAN?
also can I run DHCP on the wireless router while its connected to the wired sice its going to be distributing different IP address'?
