Seperate Two Groups On the Network
« on: May 07, 2011, 10:14:54 AM »

I've got a business network that I'd like to separate two sets of computers all together (thinking through a firewall rule or other method).

Here's a text example of what I want to achieve:

Group A: PC 1, PC 2, PC 3 (can see each other and share files within this group)

Group B: PC 4, PC 5, PC 6 (can see each other and share files within this group)

But Group A & B can not see each other and are blocked from accessing each other.

Can this be done with the DIR 655 or do I need to upgrade? Also, these two groups will be sharing the same internet connection.

You would need 2 routers for this kind of networking. Or Server that could do this kind of network. These routers are mainly meant for home use and small businesses with limited number of devices and 1 network subnet. You could add another router to this router, put the 2nd router in the first routers DMZ so it would get all Internet access thru the 1st router to the 2nd.

Can you suggest a router that could do this? Ideally an other D-Link.
