Cable -> Linksys BEFSR41 -> Wireless D-Link DI-714P+
Posted by D. Picard on September 30th, 2003


I need help please. For a few years now, I have been sharing my internet
connection between 3-4 computers at home and setup a home network. It was
pretty simple: Cable connection into a Linksys BEFSR41 (into WAN connection)
and 4 lines getting out of the Linksys. 2 of the connections go to desktop
computers and 2 are used by laptops computers (mine and my wife's). I used
to VPN with my office without any problem.

Recently, I added a wireless router (D-Link DI-714P+). This router is
plugged with one of the former laptop connection coming from the Linksys. I
connect it in the WAN port of the wireless. Here are the settings for both
the Linksys and the D-Link:

My questions:

With that setup, the internet is working just fine on the LapTop1. A bit
slow (it sometimes seem to be confused and I guess it is, especially since
LapTop1 has 2 different IP adresses?).

The real problem is that I can no longer do VPN connection with my office.
The LapTop1 crashes deeply (it runs Win XP Professional). The VPN
connection seems to connect but LapTop1 cannot find my office LAN.

When I do a change in the Wireless Router (let's say, disable DHCP), I can
no longer get into it to make changes later (192.168.0.1 no longer
responds). I have to do a "hard reset".

Sorry for the long post, but I realy need help.

Thanks.

Do

Why not just replace the old router with a new one? For the most part, they
