Hi

We have a situation where we have two LANs, each with a separate gateway. Our LAN has a Draytek 2860, and the other LAN has some whitelabel ISP supplied router. The other LAN is downstairs, we're upstairs.

The downstairs LAN want to use our MFP and a few other devices so our printer (192.168.8.10) will need to be available on their IP range (192.168.1.x).

I can set up the draytek for multiple lans, but only so far as certain ports on the draytek being on different IP ranges with different DHCP scopes. I want something more. I have port 1 on 18.x and port 2 has been set with an IP on the other range and currently in it's own VLAN.

Can what I need be done with what we have?

Just thinking it through, what if I attached the other LAN to one of the draytek WAN ports and made 192.168.1.x an 'external' IP? Could I then use address mapping to map the printer (192.168.8.10) to an 'external' IP (192.168.1.25 say) and then have the downstairs people use that IP to access the printer?

Downstairs could plug their internet connection into WAN1 on your 2860 (assuming you using the vdsl port).

set up LAN1 to vlan 1
set up LAN2 to vlan 2 (and link to downstair's switch)
set up LAN2 to vlan 1 & 2. Attach all devices which need to be shared to this

Set up rules that vlan 1 used vdsl connection for internet and vlan 2 uses WAN1 connection
