Hello, I have two different networks here and I want to access some devices across them.

Network A (10.4.30.X) has some LAN printers that I'd like to be able to access from Network B (10.15.2.X).

Currently Network B is connected to Network A through the WAN port of a WRT-54G running DD-WRT, which allows this network to get Internet access.

Is there a way, perhaps through static routing, that I can see address in the 10.4.30.X range from Network B?

Thanks,
~Ryan

I dont think you can setup static routes on SOHO routers. You would just have to put them all on the same subnet.

That's the issue, I don't want them on the same subnet. Network B is only used for testing purposes, and allows us to mimic a customer's LAN.

Then put in a intranet router which will allow you to route between the subnets.

I'm not sure what you mean by that, the two networks are already both on routers, and you are suggesting I put a third between the two?

I suggest you buy a second hand cisco router from ebay, a 28xx series or the like.
