Re: More Peer 2 Peer Troubles



You should not use two default gateway in the ICS host. remove the default gateway from inside NIC.

Problems with a peer to peer network (With New Note Apr 25th)

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, 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.



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.

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 hope someone out there has the time to wade thru the above. It seems to me
that simply put the prob is in the multihomed (host) machine with one NIC
not talking to the second NIC. You will have noted that I have moded the
Registry HKLM...EnableRouter (now) 1

Many thanks

Dave
