I contacted my ISP about not getting two simultaneous ip addresses and of course they blamed by switch. According to their records there is 2 assigned ip addresses to my account, and they do not lock them to MAC addresses, so it should work fine. I have a linksys switch (EZXS55W) with the uplink port connected to my modem with a straight through cat5 cable. I have each routers (BEFSR41) WAN port connected to ports 1 and 2 on the switch with a straight cat5 cable also. I assume this should work as I am on the internet fine with either one. I did try switching out the switch with another one and had the same problem. Both routers are set to obtain an ip automatically and have tried cycling the power on all devices about 50 times.
My goal is to have 2 seperate networks, one being my own personal one and one as a test network.
Here is a crude drawing of my network:
