Re: SBS and 2 NICs

Kevin,

Just some feedback. I agree with you that 16 sometimes leads to confusion.
But we had several routing issues with 10.0.x subnets in more complex
networks at different clients. Even if the subnet mask is set to a C class
some older software tends to interpret it as an A class. Although we could
never figure out the exact reason, as soon as we switched them to a
192.168.x those issues went away. Based on that we normally now use
192.168.200.x for the internal subnet and never had an issue.

Your Public NIC should be connected to your DSL modem/router. The DSL
modem should have both a WAN and LAN IP address listed. For a Linksys, for
example the LAN IP is usually set to 192.168.1.1. In which case I set the
IP address for the Public NIC to 192.168.1.2

Your Private NIC should be connected to a switch -- the same switch all
your internal workstations are connected to. You want to make your IP
range different than what you used for the Public NIC. Some people will
use 192.168.16.x.

For me personally, the 192.168.16.x range is too close (visibily speaking)
to the 192.168.1.x range for the Public NIC. So I generally prefer to use
a 10.0.x.x range so that it is visibly different.

OK I am at the end of my limited knowledge. I have a SBS with 2 NICs and
I
just can't seem to get it working. It is killing me...

Private NIC
192.168.1.200
DSL Modem 63.224.85.150

Public NIC
address as assigned by ISP

I am stuck!! I will read if I can find anything that will show me what I
am
doing wrong.
