separate networks within one network?

[sleepyleon]

currently have a linksys router hooked up to both a wireless linksys router and a netgear hub...all of thats working fine; however, was wondering if i could set it up so that one group of computers could only access/share files within that group and have another group that would only have access to other computers of that group? i read a little about subnet masks and wondered if i could give that a try?...possible problem with that is that not all the computers i want to include within a group are hooked up to the same router? i'm really not sure how it would work. every computer at the moment is using the 255.255.255.0 default mask.

thanks in advance!

Are you wanting them to not be able to see each other at all?

Have you tried just setting up two different workgroups?

Can you get more specific on exactly what you want?

Thanks!

well, he could just make 2 different work groups

Except then they would be able to see each other without too much trouble...

But then you'd be able to access the files of computers from other workgroups too...

I thought that was what I said!! Copywrite infringement! Call the RIAA!

Or maybe great minds think alike...eh Gamehead?

How about virtual networks?
