[Serious] Static route question

Here is a little networking fun for you boys and ladies.

Bob's computer wants to talk to Nicole's computer. Is this possible by adding static routes to Router1 and Router2? If so how?

As far as I know you do not need a static route for this as the LAN nodes are all on the same subnet.

Great, a blank webpage with a green bar at the top. How fun

Do your own homework!

[penagate]

It's not a blank page (at least, not in Firefox) and it's not obviously homework.

Yes and it depends on your operating system. And why have you slapped a DHCP server into your router network?

I have blue boxes attached to RTR1 and RTR2, that I assume are Bob and Nicole.

The external = ? should be IP addresses on the same network since they are attached to a switch.

So RTR1 ext ip = 192.168.1.1 and RTR2 ext ip = 192.168.1.2 for example

then add static routes

rtr1
ip route 192.168.129.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.2

rtr2
ip route 192.168.128.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1

edit - i assumed (sorry) because of your post that the routers weren't running a routing protocol (RIP, OSPF, etc.)

Still a blank page in Opera. If it was developed correctly this wouldn't be a problem

They are aware that it doesn't work on Opera.

I am actually starting to question if the answer to my question is no because the IP addresses are from my ISP. Which I don't know if they are on the same 'network'. And you know if I ask them, the canned response "We don't know, we just want your money".

If the IP addresses are assigned by the ISP then the ISP should be handling the routing between the two interfaces. It will however mean the communications between the two routers is sent via the ISP.

When you look at your routers you should see the addresses assigned by the ISP and know if they are on the same network.
