I've been doing a fair amount of reading and experimenting, but I still can't seem to be successful in what I'm attempting to do:
I've got a ~5 computers on my home network (xp) which I successfully have set up and mostly all are sharing folders, data, etc. I have a music server and a movie server, etc., and this is all working fine. This is a combination of wired and wireless.
I would like to add to this network: The ability for friends to come over with their laptops and connect to the internet. Of course I want this capability to be via a 'second' network, such that they don't have access to all my shared folders and various data on my primary network. I may also set up a kids/guest system in my home where people can also access the internet (wired/wireless) without any danger of access to my primary network.
I've been experimenting for a couple of months with two wireless routers, and have hooked them up in various configs with different settings, but still unable to get the two separate networks set up and running the way I want.
Any recommendations for best/easiest approach?
