Networking Gurus,

I recently built a new detached garage, with an office above. As such I had it tied into my existing home ethernet wiring. The ethernet signal is coming into the garage just fine, but I can not get my network configured the way I want because of problems trying to link the various router/switch devices.

Please see the following links for the network diagrams:

Home Network

So basically, I can't my future state to work. I'm not sure if I'm using incompatible switches or what, but I tried the future state with some 4 port switches from best buy and had no luck. I resorted to setting up the Current State so I could operate.

What I am looking for is help on how best to get my future state to work. Is this possible with my current configuration, and if not, what should I do?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Bernie
