WAN/LAN connections on 1 PC.

[bfdd]

I'm curious since my PC has two NICs if I can have one setup with a WAN ip and deal with all internet traffic and use the other for my LAN. If this isn't possible without some hardcore crap then meh that sucks.

Ah I should state that this is a Windows 7 Ultimate x64 install fully updated. I just want my LAN connection to allow PS3 Media Server and my other media shares to share over the network and I want everything else to use the WAN connection.

Setup one of the NICs with an internal IP address like 192.160.x.x with no default gateway. Then the other nic as normal for internet.

But you gain nothing from doing this really.

It should work. I have similar setup, win7 x64 pc with Wireless and nic. PS3 is connect to nic and I stream with PS3 Media Server.

there's actually a very good reason I'm doing this. i have a timewarner cable business line that i pay extra for. my older linksys router was having problems with the wireless and it finally shit out so I went and purchased a netgear. it's a goddamn piece of shit and i'll never buy netgear again. I have absolutely no internet connectivity issues plugged into my modem with my ip information, going through the netgear my PC cannot keep an internet connection for longer than like 5 - 10 minutes, most the time i have to /release /renew every minute. So what I want to do is plug one side into the router to share with the 360 and the other into my modem so I can actually have an internet connection. Netgear has been no help and I've literally spent 20+ hours fucking with this router so I'm done fucking with it and I want to work around it or I'm going to mail it to netgear with a postit attached asking for a refund.

Shell I start the answer to your future thread.

I am on Time Warner without a Router.

I have constant annoying pings from the Internet, and now my computer is totally infected.

What shell I do ? (then you would type few useless F... words and blame the whole world for your own doing).

I do this, zero problems.

1 wireless NIC for internet and 1 Intel gigabit NIC to connect to my other PCs.
