Connect 2 router linksys together

Hi!

I want to test the static routing on this configuration.

HOST WIN XP LAN LINKSYS ROUTER WAN WAN LINKSYS ROUTER LAN HOST WIN XP

The first host win xp address is 192.168.1.2 (mask 255.255.255.0). The LAN interface of the first router is 192.168.1.1 (mask

255.255.255.0) . The WAN interface of the first router (static) is 150.0.0.1 (mask 255.255.0.0). The WAN interface of the second router (static) is 150.0.0.2 (mask 255.255.0.0) The LAN interface of the second router is 220.100.0.1 (mask 255.255.255.0) The second host win xp address is 200.100.0.2 (mask 255.255.255.0).

The default gateway for the first router is 150.0.0.2 The default gateway for the second router is 150.0.0.1

I have set up static route for the first router to go on the

200.100.0.0 Network. I also have set up static route for the second router to go on the 192.168.1.0 Network.

When I try to ping from the first host to the LAN interface of the first router: OK.

When I try to ping from the first host to the WAN interface of the first router: OK.

When I try to ping from the first host to the WAN interface of the second router: PROBLEM.

Any suggestion to solve this problem?

Regards,

JR

Are you using a crossover cable between the two router WAN ports?

Who owns 150.0.0.1?

Who owns 150.0.02?

I am just curious; I can't resolve an owner for either IP address. Neither Sam Spade, nor DNSStuff resolves a responsible party for the IP address.

Why aren't you using an RFC 1918 IP address on the LAN side of the router?

Where does the gateway go?

You have also got a 220.100.0.0 network. I don't think that it is appropriate to be using any IP address other than RFC 1918 IP addresses in this network. You can use any IP address in 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, or

192.168.0.0/16; why use any others?

As expected.

As expected.

I wonder if this is just a crossover problem, or a problem with the fact that there is no device with a routing table to manage packets on the

150.0.0.0 network? I am to lazy to try to configure a replica of your rig, and too uncertain of my knowledge to say it should, or shouldn't work; or why, for either case.

Change the 150.0.0.0 network addresses to something like 172.16.0.1 and

172.16.0.2; just to be within the spirit of RFC 1918. Yes, any old IP address will do, but...

Change the 2?0.100.0.0 network addresses to something like 10.0.0.1 and

10.0.0.2; just to be within the spirit of RFC 1918. Yes, any old IP address will do, but...(or, at the list fix the typo!)

I am not so sure that you can effect a WAN-to-WAN connection with SOHO routers, so maybe you are using something more capable?
