Hi,
Here is one for a networking guru out there.
I have two networks going at home. One for personal use and one for my business.
The personal one uses a RV042 VPN router connected to a cable modem. The local subnet is 192.168.0.0 (netmask 255.255.255.0). I have a couple of laptops, my desktop, my printer, network storage (movies/music), and a couple of PS3's(used as HD media players) on this.
The business one also uses an RV042 router but is connected to a pair of DSL modems and does load balancing between the two connections. The local subnet is 192.168.1.0 (netmask 255.255.255.0). There are 12 UNIX servers on this subnet.
It all works well, but to access my business from my desktop I have a VPN tunnel out through the personal router and back in through the business router. This bothers me as not being very efficient use of the bandwidth and adds some latency since the two networks have about 10 hops between the two routers.
How can I connect these two subnets in simply and cheaply so that I don't need to go out and back in the VPN tunnels? Please tell me all I need is a network cable and some routing settings changed.
