Help with Win XP server 2 NIC Cards - trying to route__
Hello,I am trying to find the best way to handle the situation below.I have a network with 3 terminals, static IP addresses of 10.10.0.x subnet of 255.0.0.0. They are connected to a switch. The switch is connected to a server with 2 NIC cards, one is 10.10.0.100 static and the other is 192.168.1.4 (DHCP, and I don't have the subnet of this one).The 192.168.1.4 card on the server is connected to a DSL Router (192.168.1.254).I am trying to get an application on one of the terminals to be able to connect to a web service on the internet (it is a specific IP address). For various reasons, I can't bridge the connections on the server or change anything else with regards to network settings. I was trying to use the ROUTE command, but couldn't get it to work.I have enabled IP routing on the XP machine with 2 NIC's.Will the ROUTE command work? If so, what would be the proper syntax? I am looking for a unobtrusive method of allowing the 1 terminal to reach the 1 web service on the internet. I don't need complete access, just need to be able to get to the one IP address.Any help is greatly appreciated.Thank you.1 person needs an answerI do too

If you can install software on the 2-NIC computer, you might be able to find a NAT program that can share the 192.168.1.x network's Internet access with the 10.10.0.x network. Long ago, I used a program called Sygate that could do that. Otherwise, this might do what you want. I haven't tested it, and I don't know if your DSL router will accept traffic that originates in a different subnet: 1. Create a route on the terminal to send traffic for Internet site w.x.y.z through the 2-NIC server: route add w.x.y.z mask 255.255.255.255 10.10.0.100 2. Create a route on the DSL router to send traffic for the terminal through the 2-NIC server. If the terminal is 10.10.0.1: route add 10.10.0.1 mask 255.255.255.255 192.1681.4 But this wouldn't work if the DHCP server ever changed the 2-NIC server's 192.168.1.x address. If you could change the network settings, a solution would be to enable Windows XP's Internet Connection Sharing on the 2-NIC server's router connection, which would change the other network to 192.168.0.x. I'm not trying to help you bypass network security restrictions, am I? :-)
