Which router do you have? |
Its the network of my college. The server first goes into a switch. The switch has got about 15 machines alongwith server in the same lab. the wireless router connects the switch. The reason I want to use WAN is that I want to install a firewall to block some urls (eg. social networking) on wifi. so that when students use their laptops they cannot access the sites. I cannot block the urls from server as the internet connectivity goes to research labs also and I want to provide them complete internet services (w/o firewall blocking).
The wireless router is situated at other room where the office pc and other official machines are connected to the router in lan. now, I want to share files from the server and the machines around the server with the PCs connected across the router.
The present configs are:
server : 192.168.1.50
other machines in server lab: 192.168.1.51 to 65.
default gateway 192.168.1.50
Router : 192.168.1.100 (WAN)
default gateway 192.168.1.50
Router lan: 192.168.2.1
Router DHCP enabled, range : 192.168.2.10 to 50
default gateway 192.168.2.1
I have an Edimax ethernet wireless router. don't remember the exact model.
