Switch and save with State Farm®
Hi!
I'm trying to build a different sub network using an adsl router/modem left from my old ISP. (a Sagem F@st 2604 )
I first connected the old adsl router with my new ISP gateway (a Thomson TG784n) on the same net 192.168.1.0/24 with a ethernet cable (NOT cross-over) connecting numbered Ethernet ports, (DHCP and wi-fi off) and all went ok (1).
Now I'm trying to put my PC and the old sagem F@st 2604 on the 192.168.10.0/24 network , but I really don't know how to configure the different Ethernet ports in the sagem modem/router, I fear that I wont be able to configure the Sagem to behave as a switch(2).
(1) I don't know how this worked, but it did. Can you give any light on this subject?
(2) Is it possible to configure the sagem F@st 2604 to behave as a switch?

2. Usually you just turn off any DHCP feature and viola, it's a switch.

It "bridges", but does not "switches".
I will make another run, and try to reconfigure it, one more time.
Thanks

I thought we didn't connect it to the WAN/Modem port. You only wanted the hub ports to work?
Remember that I tend to use the networking lingo so when you ask me about a switch, I'll include the non-switched hub as well unless you write more.
When we use these DSL modems for the switch, we would never use the WAN port. That's a given.

Hi Bob
I'm only using LAN/Ethernet ports, at this moment I'm able to assign a secundary IP (192.168.10.1/24) to them, and keep the old sagem f@st with the 192.168.1.1/24, but if I change my PC IP to 192.168.10.10/24 I can ping the sagem, but can't access the internet.
The only way that can access the internet is keeping my PC Ethernet port in the 192.168.1.0/24 sub-net. I don't know if this is a windows miss configuration or a bad router configuration.
My words and explanations, sometimes, may be lacking precision, that is because I'm just starting in the network field (studying) . For example, I'm having a hard time to understand was does the option "Enable Ethernet M2U "
Best regards
Vasco
Hubs and switched hubs have no IP addresses.

So that's very off in the place of weirdness.
All I've ever had to do was to disable DHCP and bingo, it's a hub.
Bob
a hub it is
