Here's the situation.
Two PCs, both running WinXP Pro. Both have 10/100 cards and Firewire cards.
1 DSL Modem/Router/Switch.
Both PCs are connected to the router (w/ static IPs -- Router won't assign static IPs via DHCP), when there's no FW connection between the two, internet access works fine (on both). When I hook them up w/ Firewire I lose internet connectivity (on both). The machines talk to each other fine via Firewire when it's connected.
Windows seems to want to route all my traffic thru the firewire connection.
Bridging the connections fixes the issue, but there's got to be another way of doing this. And it sort of reduces security (not a huge concern 'cos it's a private LAN).
These are the local addresses I'd like to use:
Router:
192.168.1.1
Machine A:
IP: 192.168.1.100 / Gateway & DNS: 192.168.1.1
Firewire: 192.168.1.200
Machine B:
IP: 192.168.1.101 / Gateway & DNS: 192.168.1.1
Firewire: 192.168.1.201
How can I make it so that both machines talk to each other via firewire and talk to everything else (i.e. internet, anything else connected (like laptops) to the router) on the 10/100?
On a side note:
I'm going to Dual Boot machine B with fedora, and would like to do the same thing --but that's going to be a seperate beast by itself.
