ok just an update. I won't be getting the DSL modem til Wed. so I have not tryed any sugsetions as of yet. but did want to let every know that I have dforgotten about the help and did not want to leave u all hanging as to what the outcome was. Will be getting back to u all on Wensday to let u know how I solved the isue. or to ask for more help (hopefule all the input u have given will be enough. Till Wendsday Thank you.
Why is this so difficult people? Dont listen to the ideas of multiple nics, new routers, etc... waste of time... Just put the new router onto your existing hub/switch, and set the gateway of your webcam pc to the routers ip address... very easy, straighforward, minimal config, etc...Quote:

It's obvious he will need a new router... at least I thought so.... my point was not to buy a router with 2 wan connections... to much $$$
When you get the new dsl line, also get an additonal router... put this new router, and the current one that houses the cable connection, onto the same hub/switch.... put the pcs on the same network with different gateways...
no dual nics, dual networks, etc...
That makes sense and if I'm not mistaken has already been posted by craigmodius. The only reason that the dual wan router was suggested is that 1.) it does what he wants out of the box and 2.) it provides redundancy out of the box with 0 configuration (after initial setup).Quote:

Well heres how I solved my problem. First I tryed the 2 router solution. But did not work right. it would start out useing the dsl modem and the other computer still used cable. but after a few runs on the net the dal computer would end still useing the cable. So what I have doin was take the router back to store and traided in for 2 nic cards and run each computer to there own modems dircet. and with the second nic's run them toghter with first router. Now I heve what what I was trying to do. Im sure the first way would have worked but it seem like over time and with all the updates from windows that conetions seem to be set up differently. At one time , one could go into My Network and see to conetions. one local and one internet. Now the local and internet are all one and I wasn't able to figure how to seprate them. But it works this way and I wanted to tell all I have learned alot from u all and makes me glad that Im a subscriber to Windrivers.com and this fourm. Thank u all. Probleme is solved.
You did disable dhcp on both routers and you applied static ips to each system and each was pointing to it's respective router right?
Glad to hear you got it working though. Cheers.
No I did not. I only set the second computer to a static ip ad second router without dhcp adn set it to 192.168.1.2. I left the first computer and router as it was.
Now that u pointed that out and as I just reread craigmodius post I find I only did it the way as the link he gave me and not the way he said to do. That makes sence now and I see why it didn't work now.
