Default Gateway

[Ray Taylor]

Hey guys
I have a simple little problem

In about a month's time, i am looking to set up a long distance wireless
bridge between my house and a friends.
The problem is that we have our current network setup at each house and we
both use routers / nat to acces the internet.

I would like to be able to have computers accessing the internet from my
house go through my router- and computers at his house access internet
through his router.
I thought this may be a problem running 2 routers on the same network so my
theory is that if i set it up like so

MyRouter - 192.168.1.1
MyfileServer - 192.168.1.2, Default Gateway 192.168.1.1
MyPC1-4 - 192.168.1.3-6, Default Gateway 192.168.1.1

HisRouter - 192.168.1.20
HisPC1-4 - 192.168.1.21-25, Default Gateway 192.168.1.20

Do you think this would work? I dont want any of my pc's to use his router
to access the net or vice versa.
Also will they still be able to ping each other using 'ping pcname' command
since they will use static ip's - or do i need a dchp / dns server to do
that. This network is not running a domain.?

Currently
My router acts as a dchp server and that allows automatic configuration for
any computer in the network tree at my house to be able to connect and get
an ip, then automatically use the net.



Thanks for your help and any suggestions.

Yep, should work if your bridge is truly a bridge.

Basically its 2 802.11g access points in a point-to-point bridge. Would this
work as a true bridge?

If you have IP addresses on the same network and can ping each other, you're
bridged.
