Setting up 3 nics ???

[cakin]

I need help adding a 3rd NIC.
I have W2k pro using ICS to connect my access to my internal net.

I have one remote pc that I cant wire to directly, so I bought two wireless nics. They installed great, I can see one machine from the other, but the remote cant see the internet.

I have
nic1 10.115.xxx.xxx goes to my ISP
nic2 192.168.0.1 going to my internal network (of course)
nic3 192.168.3.1 to the wireless card with 192.168.3.2 at the remote pc.

Where did I go wrong? or how do I add routing so the wireless card can see the net
Can I add a second wireless pc with out an access point?

I know I should have bought an access point and plugged it all into my switch, but for $39 ea for two wireless cards, I figured maybe w2k could handle it and I wouldn't have to spend the extra money.

What is your DHCP router gateway IP?

For my router, that is always 192.168.0.1. Doesn't that offer a conflict of IPs, or a unknown route for the 192.168.3.1 address?

Just thinking...

I'm not running DHCP, I have assigned all IP's manually

With just the 2 nics in there 192.168.0.1 was always my gateway and dns for my other machines.
Now that I have added the 3rd nic, I dont know what to do with it.

cakin,
I believe w/ ICS connection to the Internet is provided only to those clients w/ 192.168.0.x IPs that's why the NICs w/ 192.168.3.x can't see the Internet.
I guess you'll have to get a wireless access point if you really need the remote PC to see the Internet.

I am running 3 nics in my machine at home for 2 internal groups of machines. ICS wont let you do that, I ended up using NAT, the box is a 2000 server box. Atleast I could never get ICS to do it, it would only let me me us one of the internals.

The direcway satellite software wont run on server, that was why I am using plain w2k. However one of my internal machines is running server. I guess could move the wireless nic back over there. Is there anything special to setting up NAT on server?

On the machine that have 3 nics, run Proxy+ instead of using ICS.

nic2 192.168.0.1 going to my internal network (of course)

nic3 192.168.3.1 to the wireless card with 192.168.3.2 at the remote pc.

Just my two cents!
You are on two different class C's (private addressed ones)
put all machines on the same class c so nic3 would be 192.168.0.3 and take the place of 192.168.3.1 and 192.168.0.2 will take the place of 192.168.3.2.
Of course be sure your gateway address and subnet mask match as well.

I have never used ICS so I could be off on this config.

ICS in w2k pro won't do the trick.

You'll need routing and remote access in w2k server.

You might want to investigate a hub/switch that also supports wireless, then go down to just dual nics.

Have you tried internet connection sharing or Sygate...they may help you out...
