| 160527 | 2003-07-17 09:29:00 | Evening all I'm setting up an old dunger p200mmx as a gateway PC for internet access at work. I'm thinking of using winroute (comments?) and Kerio Network Monitor purely as a in an attempt to measure the network traffic (currently excessive). Our current setup (hardware firewall (snapgear) and router (dlink) gives me no indication of course of what machine is downloading how much data (if you get what I mean). Anyway I have installed two NICs in the gateway machine and have given the internal NIC an IP of 192.168.0.2/255.255.255.0 and the external NIC as 192.168.1.2/255.255.255.240 The IP on the dlink router is 10.0.0.254 and we have a static IP address from telecom. My problem is this - even though the gateway machine can log into our domain and view the network, when I try and ping the router (which is plugged into the external NIC) on 10.0.0.254 I get a timeout. I do have a link light up when I plug the router into the 2nd NIC, so something is happening there. I feel that I don't wish to take the network down to change over to the gateway PC until I can at least ping the router and then get to the internet from at least the gateway machine, Any suggestions? Am I doing something wrong here? |

| 160528 | 2003-07-17 09:52:00 | Have you tried letting the Router assign your Gateway an IP via DHCP? It may not be liking the fact they're on different ranges. Is the subnet setup correctly? Cheers Chill. |

| 160530 | 2003-07-17 10:26:00 | Howdy Falvrez, I may have read your post incorrectly, but it appears that you have your external gateway NIC on an entirely different network. 192.168.1.2 want be able to access an IP address of 10.0.0.254 without the use of another router. My suggestion would be to give the external NIC on the gateway an IP address of 10.0.0.2 and see how you go :) |
