Two Networks - One PCone that was a better fit. I have two different networks in my house. My landlord supplies ewveryone in the duplex with free wireless Internet access. I have my own "network" in my duplex. My desktop PC has both a wireless card and a wired NIC. The wired NIC is connected to my Linksys 4 port router. Also attached to this router are a couple of external hard drives. The problem is this: if I have both network cards enabled (wireless and wired), I'm able to see the devices connected to MY router, but I'm unable to surf the Internet. How can I have these two networks coexist in peace? The Linksys network has an IP range of 192.168.1.1xx (1-25). The wireless has a range of 192.168.0.xxx I have given the wired NIC an IP address of 192.168.1.115, and entered the default gateway - 192.168.1.1 Any insight would be appreciated! Thanks! Hi
Do you have your own Internet as well? If you Do not have your own Internet connection (only the landlord connection) the right way to deal with this issue is to buy a Game type Wireless card (example, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16873999102 ), plug it to your Router's WAN port and configure your own safe Network behind your Router. This was written for another purpose but you can infer the idea for you won purpose. http://www.ezlan.net/shield.html Jack (MVP-Networking).

All of these devices (including your computer) should be connected to the LAN jacks of the router, and the "Internet" jack of the router should be left open. The "default gateway" is the address to which packets are sent when they are addressed to someplace outside the LAN. If you look at your wireless card, you'll see that it also has a default gateway, probably 192.168.0.1. 192.168.1.1 is the address of your Linksys router. Normally, if you had your router connected to the Internet through its "Internet" port, setting default gateway to this IP address would direct packets meant for the Internet to the router and thus through its NAT interface to the Internet. Because your router isn't connected to the Internet, the packets go to the router and die. You'll at least have to reboot after deleting the default gateway setting from your wired NIC. If that doesn't work, you'll have to delete the entry in the routing table that points to 192.168.1.1.
