[CS-FSLUG] Merging two networks while keeping the modems separate

[Nathan T.]

Hi all,

This should prove interesting for many of you in the list who are 
networking gurus.

I have two networks at home, and so far it's worked ok. Now we are 
looking at sharing a network printer to all the computers, and I 
wouldn't mind being able to access my NAS from the computers on the 
family network for when I am doing maintenance on them. At some point we 
may even be looking at a shared network storage for everyone in the 
household.

Anyway, I would like to merge the networks while still keeping the 
modems separate, using different subnets seems to isolate the networks 
again from my experimentation, and using static IP addresses and 
filtering at the router would require manual configuration every time a 
change is made to the network. Does anyone here have any ideas?

Thanks,

Nathan T.
