I stumped a CCNA last week with this question so I thought I would try my luck here.
I have 3 computers set to static "10.170.0.x" behind my WRT54G v5. The WRT54G is aquiring it's ip from my 5x1mb motorola Residential cable modem with DHCP.
I also have a second 5x1mb motorola "Static" Business cable modem for my home office that's running stright to a 4th computer that's not conected to the formentioned LAN of 3 computers.
So what I have is a LAN of 3 with it's own DHCP modem and a 4th computer with it's own STATIC modem.
What I would love to do here is be able to join all 4 computers together for the purpose of filesharing and (dare I say) gaming while making sure that the LAN of 3 continues to use the Residential modem and the 4th computer continues to use the Static Business modem even when all 4 computers are on 1 LAN.
I have put a second NIC in the Business computer and configured the NIC card without a Gateway and without DNS and gave it an IP in the 10.170.0.x range of the Rezidential LAN. I connected that second NIC to the WRT54G with the intention of creating a LAN with the 4 computers while keeping the first 3 computers on the residential modem service and the 4th computer on the Static Business modem. Long story short....it ain't be working.
I hope I explained this correctly. Any help would be awesome. Thanks guys.
