Re: Device to segment LANs?

Hi Everyone,

I look after a small LAN on for a small rural resort.  They've got a
handful of computers plugged into a Linksys BEFSR41
(http://tinyurl.com/a99bl) router for network & internet connectivity.

I'm looking for some way to set things up so that if this resort
"shares" its internet connection with a few neighbours they can't "see"
the other computers on the LAN, nor can the neighbours see each other's
computers.  The computers at the resort should still be able to see
each other.

You can simply put other Linksys or other routers behind a single master router. This will segment the individual lans out for each slave router. Each slave router would also have to have different internal IP address (lan A could have 192.168.1.x, lan B could have 192.168.2.x, etc.), and they should all be different from the master router's lan. That's all I can suggest, and be warned putting a NAT router behind a NAT router has a history of heartache. Usually nothing seems to work out like expected.
