I don't want two routers.
The only way for me to connect to the internet is with wi-fi. There are
three levels of NAT:
1.) the router I connect to with wi-fi.
2.) I connect with an iogear device:
http://www.iogear.com/product/GWU627/
This device gives an IP address with DHCP to my netgear router. The
iogear gizmo is like a bridge, the marketing on the box calls it an
adapter.
3.) my netgear router uses DHCP to get an IP address from the iogear
device.
The two computers:
tleilax is 192.168.2 -- the router will always give it this address
doge uses DHCP to get its IP address.
For everything which I need, everything is in 192.168.1.x range: the
netgear router, tleilax and doge.
For the purposes of this thread, the iogear device and everything above
to the cloud is immaterial, in that I'm not trying to make SIP
connections outside of the LAN.
Hope that's clear. While it's complex, it's no more complex than
necessary -- it's just the only way to get a connection.
