Question : TCP/IP and routing

I have a 02 networks  that I want to put a router and a modem between them.
Network1 has 01 computer and network2 has 04 computers with static IP of range 192.168.x.x

Network1 tcp/ip is setup to obtain Ip address automatically.

* when I connect the cat5 from the modem to WAN port on the router, I get on the network 1 IP of the range 192.168.x.x and dns server 68.x.x.x  but I can't connect that computer to the internet.
* When I connect the cat 5 from the modem to any another port on the router [other than the WAN port], I get on the network1 an IP address in the range of 68.x.x.x  and able to connect to internet, but from network2 no computer is able to connect   to internet.

I would like to find a way so, both networks can connect to the internet.

thanks

cat 5 connects from : network1(computer1)  to port4 on the router
cat5 connects from WAN port to modem
cat5 connect from port 2 to the hub, and all computers in the network2 are connected to that hub

Answer : TCP/IP and routing

in looking at the user guide from http://www.watchguard.com/help/docs/v50SOHOUserGuide.pdf you should be able to connect every device in your scenario and have them all be able to connect.

if you must statically assign ip addresses, i would recommend that you assign it an address in the upper range of the dhcp pool 192.168.111.0/24 (use 192.168.111.30 or more, and set your gateway to 192.168.111.1 the default inside of the router, and remember to assign it some dns servers, you can get those off of the dhcp computers) so the first computer assigned a dhcp address isn't given one that would conflict with your statically assigned computer.

try following the instructions in the quick install guide and see where that takes you: http://www.watchguard.com/help/docs/SOHOInstallGuide.pdf

leave the static computer off and see if you can get connected with a dynamically assigned computer. If that works then the issue is your statically assigned computer's config.

Hope this helps,
