Ah I see. I guess I was a bit thrown of because as it is now, I had only set up one vlan with one of the routers on it. I did not set up vlan for the other router. I'll have to delve deeper into my switches configurations. The vlan functionality doesn't seem to be very complex, or maybe I'm missing something. The web interface has quite a large amount of different options. I'll be exploring them for awhile.

I just hate that I don't have more hardware i.e. a netbook or something to use as a router. The only other computer I had besides mine(my gf's) took a shit last night. Not sure what's wrong with it although I've deduced it to being a problem with the charger input... either way, it's not coming back any time soon. Thing is way overdue for death anyway. So now I only have one laptop and two routers :(

It sounds like what you're saying in your explanation is that if I want the vlan's to act as two independent networks I'll need each vlan IP range to have a router. So at least I've got that covered.

                         SWITCH
        VLAN1         ____
PCa-----------------| 1 |
192.168.0.0/24   |    |
PCb---------------- | 2 |
                           |    |         
       VLAN2          |    |
PCc-----------------| 3 |
192.168.1.0/24   |    |
PCd-----------------|4  |
                           |__ |
                       

In this scenario PCa cannot talk to PCc.

192.168.1.1                       

PCa can talk to PCc through PCe.
PCe knows where to find both and permits a flow from PCa to PCc.
The other thing here is even if PCa and PCe would be in the same range they would still not be able to talk to each other because the VLAN's simulate in reality 2 switches , effectively splitting it in half.
