I'm not a network expert, and I have the following setup:
DSL modem connects to Netgear router which has a static IP address of
10.1.1.1. Three of the NG router's 4 LAN ports are connected to a 1GB
switch, a Netgear wireless access point (static IP address of 10.0.0.5)
, and a fiber optic transceiver that connects to another campus. The
proxy server PC has two network interface cards (NICs), both connected
to the 1GB switch. The proxy server NICs have static IP addresses of
10.1.1.2 and 10.0.0.1. PCs on the LAN specify the proxy server
(10.0.0.1) as their gateway, DNS server and proxy server.
I hope that comes through. The intent is to isolate the initial Netgear
router on its own subnet (10.1.1.n) so all the PCs have to go through
the proxy server to get to it.
Everything works fine except the Netgear wireless access point. PCs
that connect via this device are unable to see anything on the LAN,
including the proxy server.
If I attach the Netgear AP to the same 1GB switch the proxy server is
connected to, it works fine.
What am I missing? Do I need some sort of static route in the Netgear
router for this to work?
