Router between local PCs
It was a low level error - my low level %-). I did not give the LAN-side PC a gateway address so it did not know where to reply. One thing more learned. -
Router between local PCs
Thanks for the explanations which I can fully follow. As the LAN-side is connected to the Internet, using external IPs might not be a good idea - I can see on the analyzer-program (Ethereal) that the original WAN-IP address apears in the telegrams on the LAN-side after the NAT-table. You mention... -
Router between local PCs
Yes, it does admit static routes, but I am not sure how to use it in this case. What exactly is the function of the gateway setting on the WAN-side. Can it be that if it is not physically present then nothing is sent to the originator? I thought of setting up - on the WAN-side - another router... -

No, the gateway address must be in the same segment as the router WAN-address. The confiuration is like this: 192.168.1.11 | 192.168.1.12 | [************ROUTER***********] PC "Hostil" 192.168.1.13 |-- [192.168.1.200<->192.168.2.200]-192.168.2.10 192.168.1.14 |... -
Router between local PCs
I have tried two different routers (Conceptronic C54BRS4 and Netgear RP614). With the Netgear I get communication through the NAT table to the right PC, but the answer does not return to the PC on the WAN side of the router. I can see that with the Ethereal analyzer program. I define the WAN... -
Router between local PCs
Thank you for your advice. I had not tried with different sub-nets, but doing that now it doesn't work neither. The reason for not restricting in the new "hostil" PC is that the user has got full administrator rights so he can change everything. And to restrict the whole old network is not very... -
Router between local PCs
Hi, I have got some Windows PCs on a local network (mixed W98,2k,XP). A new PC will be added, it should only communicate with one of the old PCs on a specific port. In order to avoid that the new PC can see or access the old PCs (a part from the specific TCP/IP communication mentioned above) I...
