dual homed pc

[francesco]

I've a dual homed server connected throught 2 cross cables
to other 2 hosts, single homed.
How should I fix addressess, subnets and, eventually,
static routes to allow the dual homed to correctly ping
the 2 hosts?
Actual settings (which aren't working) are the following:

PC1----------------PC3---------------PC2
10.0.0.95 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2 10.0.0.4

Pc1:IP: 10.0.0.95
MASK: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 10.0.0.1

Pc2: IP: 10.0.0.4
MASK: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 10.0.0.2

Pc3: IP1: 10.0.0.1 IP2: 10.0.0.2
MASK: 255.255.255.0 MASK: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 10.0.0.95 gateway: 10.0.0.4

Pick up a cheap hub or switch to make your life easier then install & run
DNS, DHCP and WINS if needed. You can setup RRAS but you're probably better
off with a switch, router or hub.

Your net mask is incorrect if you really want to do this. You'll need to
setup two networks 10.0.0.0 and 10.0.1.0 for example and you'll need to use
the 255.255.255.0 mask. Setup the router with the two network cards with
RRAS and statically configure the two as 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.1.1 The other
computers can be assigned 10.0.0.2 and 10.0.1.2 with default gateways of
10.0.0.1 and 10.0.1.1 You may want to install DHCP and create two scopes
for this and setup dns and wins (since they're on different subnets, you'll
need wins to browse).
That's a very over simplified description but it will get you started.

That's not dual homed. You need PC1 and PC2 on separate IP networks.
Like:

PC1: 192.168.0.10, 255.255.255.0, GW 192.168.0.1
PC2: 192.168.1.10, 255.255.255.0, GW 192.168.1.1
PC3-1: 192.168.0.1, 255.255.255.0
PC3-2: 196.168.1.1, 255.255.255.0

Though if your goal is to have all PC's see each other and the server,
don't multi-home the server.
