Question : How to configure linksys wrt54g and linksys BEFW11S4 and a snapgear vpn with 1 DSL connection

Hello everyone,I want to create 2 entirely seperate networks from 1 dsl connection with a dynamic IP. One network for work and one for play.

the 2 linksys routers I have are and old 802.11b BEFW11S4 with a WAN and Uplink port along with 4 ports of routing. Then I have the wrt54g (similar ports) with sveasoft firmware. www.sveasoft.com

how do I plug these into eachother to create 2 seperate SSIDs each with a different DHCP server. The BEFW11s4 is going to be for home(play) network and I would like to have it directly hooked into the DSL modem so that my family can use our internet connection free and clear (without using any company resources) - and it would be handing out IP addresses in the range of 192.168.1.1xx. Then I want to have the snapgear handing out the IP's for the business network accessable throught the wrt54g wireless "router". but I assume I will have to turn off DHCP on the linksys for the business side so that it acts just as an access point and allows the computers to get a 192.168.6.x IP to access company resources.

The problem is that I need to have the BEFW11S4 802.11b linksys (connected to the DSL modem) giving the snapgear an IP (192.168.1.xx) and I don't think the snapgear likes it (the snapgear has traditionally been hooked up first right after the dsl modem and has been providing the wireless routers with an IP of 192.168.6.1.

I know I'm being kind of vague...if more info is needed please let me know. I'm so frusterated with how this project has been going...

Answer : How to configure linksys wrt54g and linksys BEFW11S4 and a snapgear vpn with 1 DSL connection

you are correct - I didn't see the vpn info - I'm slow sometimes.  - then you do need another router between the snapgear and the work network with the vpn ports wide open on the wrt54g, snapgear, and generic router.
