| 617788 | 2007-12-04 07:49:00 | Hello ^^ I have this little problem...well not really a problem, just something that I dont quite understand. I wont be bother explainning it in words, as I know it will just go and on and on. So I draw it up in Word and uploaded as a JPG file. You know what they say, a picture can say a thousand words. [img=http://img140.imagevenue.com/loc1064/th_56536_pressf1_122_1064lo.jpg] (img140.imagevenue.com) So after looking at the pic, what I want to ask is that, why is it in Situation B my PC1 gets an DHCP address in the 192.168.0.x range that differs from my Alternate configuration :illogical ? Where did this come from and where can I change it? Thanks in advance :) |

| 617789 | 2007-12-04 08:10:00 | Well its related to the previous thread (pressf1.co.nz) Why its probably coz you're using ICS, and ICS has to be in the 192.xx range. Whereas the other (10.1.x.x.x the router allocates the ip, if its on DHCP, in the 10.1.x.x. range). Or change the 192.x.x.x to the 10.1 range. Why you're using ICS, in the first place, I dont know |

| 617790 | 2007-12-04 08:41:00 | Speedy is right. In the second configuration PC1 can no longer see the ADSL modem as the ICS PC is inbetween. ICS uses 192.168.0.1 as the main "server" and has a DHCP server so that is why PC1 has 192.168.0.140. You could try bridging the two network cards in the ICS PC and disable ICS then PC1 should be able to see the ADSL modem again. Of cause PC1 won't be able to access the internet if the ICS PC is turned off. |

| 617792 | 2007-12-04 23:11:00 | Thanks for everyones reply. The primary reason why I tried this setup was to control traffic and speed that each pc experiences. Because I dont have a router but a spare pc, I thought why not built a gateway server which I can turn/use it like a router...well sort of. I do understand that once the ICS computer is in the topology PC1 no longer see the ADSL modem. What I dont understand is that, why or where this is DHCP server thats giving the 192.168.0.x IPs? I mean the ADSL modem although has DHCP enable, its setup to give out 10.1.1.x IPs. Is it built into XP? If so, can I modify its range? In Situation B, if I change my LAN address (NIC B) to the 10.1.x.x range, ICS will stop working :( . Note in both situation, PC1 has no problem accessing the internet. As for the bridging idea, I never thought of that, will give that a try :) . I know XP Pro isnt design for these sort of things, I have tried (sort of) pfsense, but that ICS computer for some odd reason refuse to boot up pfsense properly. I've also tried Win2k3 server but realised that to get everything up and going and up to date requires a lot of downloading...thus I decided to go back using XP. |
