THEN you can get on with making sure its actually getting out to the 'net That said, you can ping 210.48.100.45 (which is pressf1.co.nz) and find out if you're online even if DNS isnt working. I still think its related to the gateway settings ... |

| 728707 | 2008-12-17 23:05:00 | Ok, like this? --- netsh interface ip set address name=Internet static 121.73.35.107 255.255.255.0 121.73.35.1 pause netsh int ip set dns internet static 203.96.152.4 primary netsh int ip set dns internet static 203.96.152.12 secondary pause netsh interface ip set dns name=Matt static 192.168.1.110 255.255.255.0 pause exit --- and there isnt a mask in the dns entry....just in the internet entry |

| 728708 | 2008-12-17 23:10:00 | You still need the Subnet Mask, but its the gateway setting that only needs to be set on the Internet interface ... | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||

| 728711 | 2008-12-18 18:56:00 | Apologies for re-hashing a few things that have already been said, but, to summarise, would this be fair? 1) You have 2 NICs, one connected to cable modem ("INTERNET") & one connected to your brother's old router next door for LAN games ("MATT"). 2) You need static IP on both NICs because Telstra needs it on INTERNET & your bro's router doesn't support it on MATT. 3) Starting with just INTERNET connected, everything is just dandy. 4) When you enable the MATT connection, it initially forgets the static IP you have assigned & starts DHCP, even though you've disabled the DHCP client service (!!). It fails to get an address via DHCP on MATT ('coz DHCP not supported/enabled on that router) & generates useless autoconfig IP (169.xxx.xxx.xxx). 5) You then manually assign IP for MATT. This enables your LAN gaming fine over MATT, but kills your access via INTERNET. If this is correct, then I see item 4 as a problem (weird behaviour!!), but possible to overcome in the short term via a batch file or netsh script file. The problem is that your default gateway seems to get trashed by altering the MATT setup. If you're in state 5, could you give us the output of "ipconfig" and "route print" (or "netstat -r")? I think your problem may be in the default interface metric values used - hopefully - that should be simple to fix. |

| 728712 | 2008-12-18 19:01:00 | Yeah easy to fix #4 / the whole thing: * Static IP both * Dont set the gateway on Matt |

| 728713 | 2008-12-18 19:54:00 | Or - The BEST solution: 1) Tell your brother the brilliant minds at PF1 solved your previously intractable internet problem. 2) Permanently disconnect INTERNET connection. 3) Set up IP & gateway on MATT so your internet works through his router. 4) Cancel TelstraClear internet subscription. 5) Profit!!!! ;) ;) |
