What's your DHCP server? (A PC, a hardware router?)
ToddAndMargo:
It is a frontier DSL modem/router/dhcp sever/hub
That can make it harder, most consumer devices have limited
customisation options.
My modem/router is very limited, and major pain to configure (and
wouldn't even let me log into its control page, today), so I don't use
mine as any of the services. It's just a link between WAN and LAN, and
one of my PCs does all the DHCP and DNS serving. I can easily
configure that exactly the way I want it.
It's DHCP server can tell one PC to use 192.168.1.1 as its DNS server,
and some other device to use 8.8.8.8 as their DNS server. As the
network has more and more things added to it, it's much easier (for me)
to centrally control things, rather than manually intervene on each
device (if they even have user controls).
Some consumer routers do have a wider range of different settable
options for the main LAN versus the isolated LAN. With mine the guest
WLAN has just a few options, but it has no concept of a guest LAN on
wired ethernet, just a DMZ that can be applied to one address where it
treats something as completely standalone.
I see a lot of routers in my customer visits. They
all seems to have their own ways of doing things.
The worst is the one from Charter. They won't
even allow you to log into them.
