Hi all
What a great site
I have a quick question.
I have a fiber to home with Internet and TV. The fiberbox has eight ports 1 = VOIP (not used) 2-4 Internet and 5-8 TV. I have a Linksys 8 port managed switch right next to it. Port 1 of this goes to my linksys e2000 router, port 2 to fiberbox iptv, port 3 to a managed switch in another room (with an xbox 360 and a PC) port 4 goes upstairs to yet another managed switch. To this an xbox and a mediacenter is connected. The question now is, is there any way to use one NIC in the mediacenter to connect to the IPTV (has to be the NICs MAC to obtain an IP), and another NIC in the mediacenter to connect to the LAN/Internet (especially the XBOX extenders). I know the easyist thing to do would be to pull another LAN cable for the IPTV, but it is a HASSLE to do. If there is any way to achieve this by using and defining VLANs it would be perfect.
