I thought I posted this the other day but cannot see it so here goes again
Problems with a peer to peer network
I have used my machines in P2P for a long time, using various IP's between
them all without problem. Only the Host has been connected to the internet,
this is the way I wanted it for security. This has been fine, but now I have
tried unsuccessfully for quite a while to interconnect the Client(s) to the
internet so as to directly link with the internet mainly just to register
new software with MS.
I have tried a number of methods, quite a number. The main setup is an
incoming splitter lifts off the voice circuit from the ADSL modem router
(SpeedTouch 536), the ADSL feed into it's own NIC on the host. Then a 2nd
NIC connects to a switch to stream down to clients. Kerio does not give ANY
trouble as a firewall.
This is all fine except that now I would like to access the internet from
all machines, not just the host. The usual setup has not used ICS on the
host, nor have I used "bridge mode", well that is until now when I have
tried various configs including these setups. Need I say that I have used
both static and dynamic cons, DHCP, no DHCP etc, ICS up, bridge mode etc.
Platform: All machines XP Pro etc
Host: Two NIC's, first one set to Incoming modem, TCP/IP 10.0.0.1/255.0.0.0,
the NIC hardware address IP set 10.0.0.1. Gateway 10.0.0.138 DNS 10.0.0.138
2nd NIC set to TCP/IP 192.168.0.1 /255.255.255.0 NIC hardware IP
192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0. no gateway set
All machines set as "MSHOME" workgroup
In TCP/Adv/Wins NetBios is set over TCP/IP
If I set the TCP/IP manually then I also set the DNS to the local ISP.
I can ping within the lan, ie from clients to clients and to the host
192.168.0.1, but cannot ping from a client to the host NIC 10.0.0.1
I would greatly appreciate some assistance as my thoughts on the subject are
by this, shall we say "confused"
