two gateways on one network

G

Guest

i'm trying to configure my Windows 2000 Advanced Server to connect on two
different gateways... one gateway is configured as 192.168.1.7 (connection to
internet) and 10.100.0.17 (connection to a VPN)..

How can i specify my internet browser to use the 192.168.1.7 gateway to
connect?
or use 10.100.0.17 to connect to my remote clients?

Thanks!

Default Gateways are global for the whole machine,..there should only be one.
Windows will warn you of this when you atempt to enter a second Gateway,...did
you ignore the warning?

Routes are determined by the Destination IP#,...not the Source IP#,...not the
Protocol,...not the Application,...not the user.

Default Gateways are for "unknown" routes (aka the Internet), therefore, there
can only be one.
Gateways (not "Default") that are seen in Static Routes and Dynamic Routes
created by routing protocols (RIP, IGRP, etc) are for "known"
routes,...Therefore there can be many Gateways,...one per route,...many routes.

You can,...but you cannot give it a Default Gateway. The connection will just
"sit there" and nothing will use it.
