I have two lans. One is connected to the
internet via a modem, linksys router and dsl, the other is connected
to the internet via a cablemodem, linksys router and cable. I connected the two
lans together via the routers: from an uplink port on the cablemodem side's
router to a port in the switch area of the dsl's router. It works fine
for a while (about two hours on average , or so) then, I lose my internet via
the cablemodem router's gateway and eventually the router has to be
re-booted. Eventually the router on the dsl lan has to be re-booted as well.
Now, in all events, I still have full view of both lans from both sides, that
part works perfectly. For some reason, traffic from one lan or the other is
interfering with the router's ability to gate the internet. I was hoping to
solve this problem with a bridge: i.e., keep local traffic from crossing the
bridge by using a second NIC (eth1) in a Linux box on the cable lan
connected to a hub on the dsl lan. Am I heading in the right direction? any
pointers?
