if i have two routers which is connected to each other and last one to the dsl line as this

>[A]>[dsl line]

would it be possible to setup the routing on B to only address certain traffic via its dialed connection and then route the rest to router A so that it used its dialed connection ?
 
here is as far as i gotten this adventure.

router A ( the dlink)
i connected its wan to one of its lan ports, then enabled dhcp, and pppoe dail. ip 192.186.1.2

router B ( the linksys)
i connect it to router A's wan, no dhcp, router mode (not gateway), pppoe dail. ip 192.168.1.1

now my pc's are connected to router A, and i can access router B and A at same time no issues. both dail and are connected. just some reason when i routed all traffic in A's routing setting to B it does jack.

then disconnected B and directly to my pc, also couldn't browse the net, so hard resseted B and will go again when i get to have it work solo with just my pc connected
 
yes **** finally yay success :)

linksys dsl modem is on shaped international, dhcp enabled, router mode, routes setted up, half bridge unticked - 192.168.1.1
dlink on semi unshaped, no dhcp - 192.168.1.2

pc's point to the linksys (gets ip via dhcp form it)
it in turn routes wow (well only one i just added, add rest later) to dlink so its semi unshaped,
rest of traffic via linksys

/pat on back

update:
that seems confusing let me rephrase the setup:

*note router A must support the ability for another device to be able to establish a connection via it.

router A
  • using shaped international
  • dhcp enabled
  • mode is set to router mode
  • no bridging is ticked (half bridge unticked)
  • router's ip is set to 10.10.10.1 with a handout of 10 ips starting from 10.10.10.3 (as 10.10.10.2 is reserved for B)
  • subnetmask 255.255.255.0
  • using pppoe

router B
  • using unshaped international
  • dhcp disabled
  • (don't have a router mode on my dlink)
  • no bridging is ticked (half bridge unticked)
  • router's ip is set to 10.10.10.2
  • subnetmask 255.255.255.0
  • using pppoe

Connections
  • Router A is connected to the phone line
  • Router A's Ethernet is connected to one of Router B's Lan ports
  • Router B's wan port is connected to one of its own Lan ports
  • All PC's are connected to Router B's Lan Ports

PC Setup
  • A) gets from dhcp (router a) and per default connected to its connection and must have a route setup (via route in command prompt with -p if tested to be correct) for each ip/application that needs to use router b's internet
  • B) manual IP with the gateway either point to router A (10.10.10.1) or router B (10.10.10.2)

Dailup Procedure
  • router A must dail first then router b

Router Admin
  • 10.10.10.1 for router A
  • 10.10.10.2 for router B

seems its better to have the routing done by windows's rout table on each pc rather than to have one of the routers routing the specific traffic.
 
How do u go about doing that (the route table)..
i have iburst and adsl at home i play COD 5 at home an dit seems that it connects to an international server first and then a i play on the local sgs servers.

Is there a way i can use the iburst to connect to internatianal and then play with the adsl locally(adsl has local only cap)

...its not "just" about how to setup the the routing table with persistent static routes-

the first question is can your iburst modem be daisy chained with the other route and both working together on the same subnet without any issues such as NAT.

easier solution would be to try route sentry first.
