Networking Issue

Shane:
Yes but you have to make sure that router B had its connection from router A plugged into the WAN port and that you didnt have a static IP set for the WAN port yet.

DanTheTechMan:
on which router?  i had a static ip for the connection from a to b.  is that where i went wrong?

Shane:
You would have it like this

Modem --> Router A --> Router B

Cable from Modem is plugged into WAN port in Router A
Cable from Router A Is plugged into a LAN port and the other end that is plugged into Router B will be in the WAN port.

Router B should have the WAN IP set to auto get as it will get its WAN IP from Router A.

Thats all there should be to it, the LAN in router B will auto change when it sees the WAN IP it got and you now have 2 separate networks and both online.

If Router B has a static WAN IP it isnt getting connected because the IP it would get from Router A doesnt match and so it doesnt get online.
