Actual

w2k domain D

Location A
subnet a.b.c.d
1st internet connection (fast) -gateway1-firewall, router, VPN, SMTP and
proxy (Borderware machine) connected to LAN switch
pdc w2k domain D - dns, DHCP with scope: DNS, WINS, GW 1
servers: w2k + winsrv2003
workstations: w2k, xp
laptops: xp
workstations + laptops -> deafault gw1 from DHCP

2nd internet connection(very fast) - gateway2 - firewall, router (D-Link
DI-604) connected to LAN switch

Location B
subnet a.b.x.y
3rd internet connection - gateway3-firewall, VPN, SMTP and proxy (Borderware
machine) connected to LAN switch
adc w2k domain D - dns, DHCP with scope: DNS, WINS, GW 3
servers: w2k
workstations: w2k, xp
laptops: xp
workstations + laptops -> deafault gw3 from DHCP

Location A + Location B
VPN GW <-> GW3 (Borderware + SSH client)

Wanted

Only in location A

3rd internet connection to be used for location A for HTTP, FTP and POP

All the servers have static GW1
I changed the scope from GW 1 to GW2:
    a) all wkst+laptops browse internet through gw2 (very fast everybody
happy)
    b) LAN available on a.b.c.d
    C) wkst+laptops cannot see anymore Location B, ping doesn't work,
NETBIOS doesn't work
    d) wkst+laptops from location B cannot see anymore wkst+laptops Location
A (servers Location A -YES)

If I change GW-dhcp from GW2 to GW1 everything comes back to normal.

Any suggestion?

Borderware machine does not support a second internet connection.

Any help would be higly appreciated.

Thank you.
