Schools subnet = 10.0.0.1 Class subnet 10.0.0.1 -- can't connect to internet
Don't know if this is exactly a firewall issue.
My school allows us to do a little lan gaming in one computer lab. I like to set up my dlink to pass out 10.0.0.x addresses because it's easy to type in. Games and map servers are under 10.0.0.100. My gateway is 10.0.0.1. I connect that to the schools system (lets call it a linksys) which is also a 10.0.0.x subnet.
I use the DLINK because there's a bunch of windows shares I don't want the gamers getting to and it seems to isolate them. But when I have both subnets set to 10.0.0.x I can't seem to connect to the internet. I set the linksys to 192.168.0.x , reset both switches, and suddenly I could hit the net. But of course if I mess something up on the linksys Im dead.
Is the problem with linksys firewall? Or is it a problem that both switches have gateways pointing to 10.0.0.1? I thought that having that as the gateway would just push the traffic out the door to the internet.
TIA Zipper
