Network Puzzle, need assistance

[rodsky]

---

First, let me show this diagram.



So we have two ISPs. PC #1 is currently connected to one ISP, and #2,#3, and #4 are all connected to the other ISP via an 8-port hub.

My question is...how do I make PC #1 be a part of the network that PC's #2,#3, and #4 all belong to? I simply want to be able to access files in the 3 other PC's from PC #1.

If possible, the solution should not include adding a router or setting up an VPN, etc etc.

Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

Ok then, thanks. We do have a router but it will take me weeks to figure out how to configure it. Dirty-finger's the confounded figures!

so purpose nimo ing.ani?

ganahan ka pc1 connected lang sya sa bayantel? and pc2 3 and 4 sa PLDT?

basig pariha ni ing.ani nga scenario

https://www.istorya.net/forums/networking-and-internet/74031-help-2-routers-on-1-switch.html

but for personal preference

i want to connect the two ISPs to a dual wan router that is capable of round robin load balancing

and connect the pc1 to the hub

i will replace the hub to switch, hub and switch are logically different and switch is much much better


i dunno with other routers (specialy with DLINK or linksys) but nakasuway nako ug configure device (its not actualy a router but it was a firewall) nga each of the pc can be explicitely use either of the two ISP, called souce-based routing

pc1 will use bayantel and pc2 3 and 4 will use PLDT........... 1 gateway

Thanks for info. Actually bro, before, we already had a setup which included a DLink Router--it acted as an "automatic switcher" between our previous dual ISP setup (before, we had PLDT and Globe). In this automatic configuration, pag maputol ang among PLDT, Globe would kick in. This worked before in our previous office location.

But then last February, we moved offices, and natimingan pod that the guy who set up the dual ISP automatic switching, left our company So I had to settle for a configuration that didn't involve a router, kay during the move, we only had one ISP (PLDT), so going dual was not an issue. But now, since duha na sad among ISP, I wish we had the same configuration before...I simply am not technically knowledgeable enough to set up the router like how our previous technician set it up before, and I know I can do it given enough time, but I don't have that time. I'm willing to hire someone to do this for us, if it takes only a few hours.

lan card 1 connect to hub where the pldt dsl is connected at the same time ma belong sya sa network...

lan card 2 use for internet only.. (static ip)

I actually thought of doing this (because I dimly remember doing this before, in a previous job), but then right now wala ko'y spare nga Lan card.
