FraidyMan :
Running a Triple Router Y-Configuration pretty much covers the setup I am using, except we have 5 subnets fed from one gateway router/modem. I know just enough to cause a real mess, so I would appreciate your help.
I am right to assume that if we want to share a printer between two of the 5 subnets, I would insert another router that Y-configures them downstream from the gateway? IE, what you describe
[fixed]
Gateway 192.168.0.1
|
| Printers on 0.(x) shared with all
|
____________________________________________________
Routers | | | | |
IP 0.10 0.20 00.30 0.40 0.100
| | | | |
Subnet 10.1 20.1 30.1 40.1 100.1
To share printers between 40 and 100, would it look like:
Gateway 192.168.0.1
|
____________________________________________________
Routers | | | |
IP 0.10 0.20 0.30 0.2

subnet 10.1 20.1 30.1 140.1
| Printers on 140.(x)
| shared with 40.x
| and 100.x

Q: How do I put on computer on the shared subnets so that it can use fileserver and printers on both subnets?
Q: We have been talking about ethernet connected devices: How would I share a USB printer between subnets?
Would this be easier with programmable switches rather than SOHO gateway routers?
Thanks for your help
