Dual Nics

[azangerle]

Ok here is the background info.

The pc is located at a car dealership. It has one nic connected directly to an application server. The second nic is connected to a router which is connected to the internet via DSL. I have this same setup with windows xp and it works fine, I am able to connect to the application server and I am able to get out to the internet. On windows 2000 I am able to resolve host names but i am not able to get anywhere in internet land.

The connections to the application server CANNOT be changed.


Any suggestions?

How it works with WinXP past the First Router?

Since you are using two NICs it must have some additional Routing.

nothing that i know of ......

one nic's ip is 10.0.x.x and the server that it communicates with is on the same subnet
the other nic is in the 192.168.1.x range and the router (192.168.1.1) is the gateway to the internet.

on xp it just works on 2000 not.

A 10.0.x.x needs some type of Routing/NAT resolution in order to go through 192.168.1.x

This Routing/NAT is exsisting and set on the WinXP computer. Unless you find out what is it and use/install it on Win2000 it will not work.

Thats not the problem.

More detailed explanation

Nic 1 - IP=10.0.x.x
Nic 2 - IP=192.168.1.x


10.0.x.x traffic -------> nic 1 ----------> server :thumbsup:

internet traffic -------> ???? :thumbsdown:

dns resolution ---------> nic ? ---------> :thumbsup:

I need the 10.0.x.x traffic destined for the server to go out nic one. And that works fine.

The problem is with the internet traffic. The internet traffic does not get out. I need the Internet traffic to go out nic 2.

Im not sure what network is doing the name resolution. But it works fine.


This same exact situation works fine with Windows XP. But not with Win 2000.

bump... any ideas?

check the default gateway for NIC2, it should be your next hop IP address to get to the internet
