Hi fellas,
This is my present network scenario,
ADSLModem/Router Combo -> 4 Port Switch -> 1 Computer(running bittorrent client)
* My ISP provided this equipment which is a Modem & router combined in one.
* This Modem/Router combo has only DMZ feature and no Port forward / virtual servers feature.
* I enable DMZ to the computer runnin the torrent client on port 5050
Now am gonna get a macbook and a 802.11 N router(it has port forwarding) for wireless access, and i want to keep the network configuration as follows
ADSLModem/Router Combo -> New router -> Old comp with bittorrent client + new macbook with another bittorrent client
* Now I want to enable ports to both the computers separately
I would consider doing this,
1)attach the cable from the Modem/Router to the WAN port of the new router.
2)Make the new router obtain an static ip address(wan ip of the new router) from the Modem/Router combo. Assign DMZ to the ip address of the new router.
3) Configure the new router to enable ports for the two individual systems connected under it.
And now my question,
Will this work?
Am I logical?
If it doesnt, wat shud i do?
Also, is the D-Link DIR-655 Extreme N Wireless Router compatible with MacBook? Any experiences?
Thanks in advance!
