Re: Connect to Multiple Networks (Simultaneously) From Same Comput

Here is the result of 'route print > C:\rprintlog on my XP workstation:

===========================================================================
Active Routes:
Network Destination Netmask Gateway Interface Metric
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.200 192.168.1.220 10
127.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 1
192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.220 192.168.1.220 10
192.168.1.220 255.255.255.255 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 10
192.168.1.255 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.220 192.168.1.220 10
224.0.0.0 240.0.0.0 192.168.1.220 192.168.1.220 10
255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.220 192.168.1.220 1
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.200
===========================================================================
Persistent Routes:
None

This maps the entire IP address space to an interface (192.168.1.220 is my
ethernet card, 127.0.0.1 is a loopback to to the TCP/IP input of my PC) and a
gateway (192.168.1.200 is a DSL router connecting to our ISP).
So all loopbacks (127.x.y.z) and traffic for 192.168.1.220 originating in my
PC never gets out onto our Ethernet LAN.
Traffic for our LAN (192.168.1.x) is broadcast from my ethernet card, as are
a few other special cases.
Any other address p.q.r.s is sent to the DSL router.

This table is set up by the DHCP server on our LAN when I log on - it
assigns my IP, my net mask (defines size of LAN), and my gateway.

192.168.x.y are un-routable addresses - traffic for them will not pass
either way through a router, so they are secure - our LAN speaks only to our
LAN, yours speaks only to yours.

This should be enough info to allow you to diagnose your rote print outputs,
or ask intelligent questions if you don't want to divulge the IP of the
access point to your secure network.

Hi Newell

The laptop is a DHCP client on the local network, and to the secure network
when connected.

What do you mean by the route print? I can't post anything that explicitly
relates to the secure network, for obvious reasons.

It sounds like your off-site users do exactly what I want to do here. I
wonder if I use the laptop just as a gateway to the secure network, and
allow ICS that would do the trick? The problem would be that Windows always
wants to set the IP on an ICS machine to 192.168.0.1, and that is the IP of
my router.

More info needed.
I assume you are DHCP client of whichever network you successfully
connected
to last. Correct me if you have a different set-up.

Post results of 'route print' when you are
(a) connected to secure network via dial-up
(b) to your broadband network

Our offsite users can access our network (via VPN) and their local
printers,
and see Internet via their ISP, not ours, by using a set-up called 'split
tunneling'.
I suspect this may only work for you if you put your dial-up modem on
local
Ethernet so that you access both networks via same interface.

Hi Meinolf

Thanks for the reply. I haven't tried RDP except over the dial-up
connection. What I have tried is pinging my remote network IP when
dial-up
is connected and I get an instant reply from the secure network (over
dial-up) saying that the host is unreachable.

It seems that all traffic is sent down the dial-up path, whether it can
be
reached that way or not.

What I think it needs is something to route only private network traffic
down the dial-up path and everything else through my local gateway, but I
can't see where I might set that.

Hello Charles,

Did you try with Remote Desktop over the broadband connection?

I'm not sure if this the right place, so please redirect me if there
is a better place (I looked but none was obvious).

I have a laptop that uses a dial-up connection to a secure network
(the only route in). I also want to be able to connect to another
remote network from the laptop, at the same time, via broadband.

So far, all attempts have failed. If I hang-up the dial-up connection,
I can see the internet, but once the dial-up is connected all I can
see from the laptop is my local network (and the remote secure
network, of course).

The laptop has a wireless connection to my local network, and when I
look at the properties there is a place to enter "Alternate
Configuration", but I can't get that to make any difference.

Please can anyone suggest how I might do this?

TIA

Charles
