Getting my BT Infinity fibre broadband installed today (55mbps down, 18mbps up) and I'm also keeping my other broadband (separate phone line, standard 8mbps ADSL) as it has static IP addresses for running some stuff I have. Servers nice and stable on the old fixed IP addresses and really can't be bothered with moving them.
What I need help with is someone to confirm that my proposed design for providing interconnectivity between machines at home will work! I want the business machines to be able to see and get data from the personal machines but not the other way around, forcing the personal machines to use the BT Infinity router.
I plan to use 192.168.20.x range split as follows:
Business machines on 192.168.20.1 to .127 range with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Business ADSL router on 192.168.20.1, all machines in this range using that as a gateway.
Personal machines on 192.168.20.128 to .255 range with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.128. BT Infinity router on 192.168.20.128, all machines in this range using that as a gateway.
Will that work or will there be connectivity issues between the machines? If there will be issues, any suggestions for fixing them? If I have to, I don't really mind turning the second subnet mask to .0 but I'd rather some logical separation.
