How do you connect a wired network (10.26.172.XXX)using static IPs to a wireless network (192.168.1.XXX) using DHCP from the Wireless Router? They all use the same ISP DNS Server and are connected to the internet.....but the two networks cannot see each other by netbios or connect by IP address. The strange thing is that the Wireless Computers are able to run a application that is on a Unix OS that is on the 10.26.172 network IT Consultant

Freshman, I'm assuming the 10.26.172.0 is the one connected to your Internet connection. I'm also assuming that you are connecting the WAN port of the Linksys to one of the LAN ports on the 10.26.172.0 network. When you do this, the Linksys firewall is preventing any computers on the 10.26.172.0 network from seeing the computers behind the Linksys on the 192.168.1.0 network, but computers on the 192.168.1.0 network will be able to see your 10.26.172.0 network because the Linksys firewall doesn't restrict communication from it's LAN side. A cleaner setup would be if you turn off DHCP on the Linksys router, then connect a cable from one of the 10.26.172.0 LAN ports to the LAN port of the Linksys. (Do not connect anything to the Linksys WAN port.) You might also want to change the Linksys LAN IP from 192.168.1.1 to something like 10.26.172.254 so you can easily reach it from a 10.26.172.0 computer. What this effectivly does is dummy down the Linksys router to a kind of Access Point (AP) function where it's just acting as a bridge between the wired and wireless computers (kinda like if you just had another hub daisy chained to a hub on the 10.26.172.0 network instead of a wireless router). However, you won't be able to use the DHCP function of the Linksys this way, or at least the wireless clients won't be able to go out to the Internet because you can't specify a custom gateway address in the Linksys DHCP settings, so wireless clients will get the IP address of the Linksys for their gateway address. So what you need to do is either have a computer on the 10.26.172.0 network vend IP addresses, or configure the wireless clients manually with 10.26.172.0 addresses. Assume that I already did an Internet search.

FreshmanGuru You mix a number of concepts, netbios which isn't routable, unix, nat, subnetting, but that an application can work under these circumstances. You need to take a big breath, pause to think, and then ask a specific question or questions. Clearly you have a grasp on a number of concepts, you just don't see how they fit together. We have all been there. Provide a specific question and we can guide you. McCain: steal from the poor/middle class and give to the rich. Obama: steal from the rich and give to the poor/middle class. Go Obama!
